Although you acted quite lejune the other night, I do agree with your observations concerning how we value the non-academic and how this translates into professional sports.

I think it is generally getting better but we still worship pro athletes and actors/actresses far too much relative to their societal contribution. It has always amazed me that we don't place a higher economic value on the people and professions who work with youth from day care and early childhood educators through high school.

Just an observation.
