watch the video then read then discuss ur opinion.

Beside the boots, Did anyone see how James is basically saying motocross riders don't get paid enough. I totally agree. Football players, basketball players, tennis, GOLF!!!! All make 10 times what a motocross racer makes and is ten times less risky. Another thing is that every football player in the NFL makes bank whether he plays or not. Out nations top 100 riders don't make what NFLS top 10 make. Yet we have privateers out there going in debt just for the love of the sport. I guess thats motocross, but I know we as a sport needs to address this and work together

You would be surprised on how evil the NFL really is. I have a buddy who played for the Rams, Raiders, and New England. Hes got some stories about the NFL. Guys who have been in the NFL for 5 years have to make $500,000 a year. Unions. Most teams wont pay that if your not a starter, so your sent packing. Then you receive nothing. Plus you pay your agent 10% of all your earnings. I agree that riders dont make shit unless your on top. Look at Kobe Bryant, he just signed a 3 year deal with the Lakers for 90 million. 30 mil per year to bounce a ball. Crazy.

How can you compare Pro "ball" sports to MX? That's ridiculous.

On a Sunday, how many people are paying to go watch an NFL game...or sitting in a bar to watch an NFL game...or sitting at home and watching an NFL game.

Do you think that maybe, just maybe the reason that Pro "ball" sports athletes are paid more is because of the fan base and mainstream media coverage that they receive?

When will people stop trying to compare apples and turnips!?
