A talented professional athlete is earning their way. In every other circumstance it seems like maxing out your potential value is encouraged. But not in sports.

Nobody is criticizing him for maximizing his value or getting his money. I even said it explicitly. Many people recognize that paying $700,000,000 to a player of a game is rather absurd for the obvious reasons.

Anybody getting $700 million for anything is absurd. More absurd is Elon Musk's kids (as an example) being worth $2 billion each just for popping out of the right birth canal.

When anyone comes up with a better way than the free market to determine what someone's services are worth, please post it here.

I'll believe MLB is an example of a free market when teams aren't heavily subsidized with forced tax revenues and the states/cities aren't paying for most of the stadiums.
