Pretty much all modern contracts for pro-athletes have performance based Incentives and salary escalators, not to mention they can just be simply cut or traded if not performing up to the satisfaction of the management. Keep in mind, an athlete's career, health, and even life, can end on just one play. They make what they do because that's the going price. You might not like it, but then again, that's not for you to decide, is it.
Just think a soldiers life can be ended with just one bullet.
