It's not any more absurd that people get paid millions for a leisurely game than it is for people to get paid millions for performing a play. When you do something well enough to be entertainment for millions of people, the money doesn't seem so absurd anymore.
It might seem trivial, but it can be a worthwhile investment for the city to promote sports because it brings in more revenue (i'd lean towards it not being so, but the potential is there). But i agree that sports should be low on the city's priority list (bread and circuses, anyone?).
