Why Is There So Much Needless Excessive Money Spent on Sports Championship Rings?

Why is so much money lavished on sports period? For years we have listened to people scream about the wealthy and they are bad and need to be taxed more etc and yet zillionaire athletes some with rings like these are treated as untouchable gods and heroes. Think of you will of Musk, he doesn't play a child's game and actually does something.

The rings for employees are not the same as the rings for players. The ones for athletes are the most lavish. Why is that being spent? Because it rakes in billions of dollars so it’s a drop in the bucket to have them being made. That being said, billions are also given to charity from these sports. Then add in the millions given by the athletes themselves, not just the teams and organization. How much do you want them to give to the homeless? Hollywood stars make even more money, and unlike athletes they don’t put their future health on the line. So how much of their ridiculous jewelry should we sell? How many vacations of the stars should we take away? Don’t get me wrong, the cost for these gaudy rings is ridiculous. And a lot of these athletes end up selling them. But I don’t know how far we should go on telling other people on how to spend their money. At whose tax bracket do we stop?

@looeyville There are so many unnecessarily expensive trinkets given out in sport and showbiz. Vanity of vanities.

That is quite bizarre. How often do these championships happen? I mean is a team likely to win more than one? Because surely you wouldn't want a whole handful of those rings would you?? That whole thing seems odd to me, never mind how much is spent on them. But yes of course the money could be spent on more worthwhile things - the same is true of many sports-related things, as well as fashion and other useless systems. On something of a tangent, what are the knicks? Here we would use knicks as short for knickers, in other words women's underwear. "Go knickers!"

No one feels for homeless and poors. Countries are in race to subjugate other countries without realise the difficulties of their own people.

Thirteen grand per ring just for jewelry is hard to wrap my head around... That money could have fed a lot of families, i think. Imo the math you did makes it feel even crazier,..
