There are people on the list that deserve to be there. There are a whole lot more who don't.

I'd have to agree. When we were down in Atlanta we went to a Braves game, which was fun, but when you think about it, it's lame. Someone having aspirations to play baseball for the rest of their life. You'd think that they'd want to do something with their life other than get up and play baseball. The people that get paid the big bucks, in my opinion, are way less deserving of that money than an engineer, doctor, or teacher. Athlete's aren't shaping the future of this country. People like our mentors are, yet most Americans would never consider an engineer, doctor, or teacher more valuable than a mere athlete.
