"Our company is like a professional sports team, except we are definitely not going to pay you like actual professional sports players." - a guy who makes way too much money

Well this is it. The top comment. 100% accuracy.

Looks at all the sponsorship work that professional athletes do outside of playing their sport...

I had a boss who, during a meeting about a raise for me, said "you care more about what you make than I do", which prompted me to up my asked-for salary by 50% on the spot - and he agreed to pay it. This guy was very much like a pro team owner, albeit Ted Stepien.
