are professional athletes being paid to much?

Some would argue that being paid 250,000,000 for a five year contract is too much money for someone to be paid to play soccer. David Beckham the English soccer star recently signed a 5 year contract with the LA Galaxy, worth a quarter of a billion dollars, meaning Beck's would make close to one million per week. This deal wouldn't make sense to most people as Beck's has already passed the prime of his career and has had numerous injurys in the last couple years. It is clear that Beckham was brought to the Galaxy for marketing purposes and not for his skill. As rated by FOX the top 10 over-paid pro athletes include (Peyton Manning-14.17million/year, Micheal Schumacher-80million/year, Alex Rodriguez-25.7million/year, Barry Bonds-22million/year, Derek Jeter 19.6million/year, Terrel Owens 8.3million/year, Tiger Woods-80.3million/year, Shaq 20million/year, Stephon Marbury 14.6million/year, Andre Agassi 28.2million/year). Athletes including these ones are being overpaid, there is no reason to be paid 80 million a year to drive a racecar or hit a golf ball. I think athletes are selfish, they are bein paid these large amounts of money when they already get everything for free.
