I would like to think these guys get paid millions because what they do draws a lot of attention and helps sell advertising, merchandise, licensing fees, etc. Perhaps I am mistaken, do any of them get paid anything in addition to their regular contracts when they suffer massive career ending brain injuries? Then again maybe you're right - there could be a secret concussion bonus ... This would certainly explain why these guys can't get together in their union and put an end to something that gravely impacts quality of life long term.
