If it gets to the point where professional athletes are taxed 90% of their salaries, guess what’s going to happen? I’ll tell you: they will stop playing professional sports. Why would they give away 90% of their income?

And who loses here? Everyone. You no longer get to watch them play, you lose that value there. Cities lose that tourism draw ; there are no more games.

When you overtax, you take away any incentive to do anything; without incentives, no one WILL do anything. Athletes aren’t doing this stuff for their health, they’re making a living to the best of their ability, just like you and me.
