"Professional sports draw about 6% of all television
households (80,000,000 in the US times 2 .3 people per
family and 1-2 hours per week per viewer. Are you
saying that if people spent as much time in museums as
they do with their TVs salaries would not be higher?"
No, I didn't say that. I said being upset about what
superstars make, regardless of their field of endeavor,
is not going to help. Museums need to make people feel
that they (museums) are a vital need if museum workers
are to be valued enough to be paid high salaries.
