Frankly, it doesn't bother me at all. The only reason they get that kind of money is because the fans are willing to pay the inflated prices that allow those salaries. When people start to balk at paying those ticket prices, then it will change.

Of course, I'd prefer that it be wonderful, yet humble me, rather than a jerk like Bonds, but...
