OPINIONS: 
-My own opinion on this is the money in baseball is way to much.  I also feel long term contracts are not a good idea because players do get old and slow down and are not as productive.  10 year contracts can go into a players late 30s or even 40s.  You CAN'T expect a player that age to be worth over 20 million.  They just can't produce the same as they did when in their prime.  Bascially is going to be getting overpaid.  I already feel Alex is being overpaid now, he is already passed his prime and is not worth 27 million a year now.  Yet the Yankees still give him that money.

I feel football contracts should not give as much guaranteed money because of high injury risk in this violent sport.

Basketball contracts are the ones that I have the least amount of problem with.  They have a max amount of money someone can get.  And yes there are those who get big contracts that dont deserve it but that will happen always in sports. Teams pay a player lots of money because of ONE great year then after that they just play decent.  It happens sadly.

-"I feel athletes do get paid to much money, I understand the fact they they play so many games, have pressure on them and a spot light on them but there are people that get paid less that are more important that should get paid more like doctors and teachers".
