Greedy Athletes

Athletes always say that they are "blessed to be doing what they love." If this is true, why are some of them asking for 10's of million dollars? If they are doing what they love, and love the sport, they shouldn't be so greedy. I'm extremely sure that they can live off of 3-6 million dollars a year. It just kills me to see how much players are asking for, or to see how much GM's are willing to give to athletes...especially if they aren't that good to begin with. Andruw Jones just banked $36.2 million for 2 years. After the year he just had, he doesn't even deserve $10 million. I'm a firm believer in what players do in the present and not the past. If I was playing in a sport that I loved, I would never ask for more than $5 million a year. I don't care how good you are, or how good you think yo are, no one deserves $10 million a year. If they do, they don't love the fame, and are just doing it for the money, which is not a reason to play sports. The one instance that really pissed me off was the $28.5 million Clemens made for playing half a season this year. He wasn't even good. He's definitely not worth (and no one is worth) $28.5 million for a half year.
