Most overpaid sports?

People have died of massive heart attacks on football pitches, nobody's died in F1 for almost my entire lifetime (although I'd count Bianchi). F1 isn't very dangerous anymore, lots of motorsport is, of course.
Those were pre-existing heart conditions though so I would say they don't really count i.e. they weren't a direct result of football itself, it could have happened while they were doing any number of physical activities.BJG1 said:
When was the last time a piece of another car hit and killed an F1 driver?
Massa came pretty close didn't he?But anyways, this is something you have to factor in when choosing YOUR overpaid sport: potential frequency of injury vs injury severity. I know I'd rather suffer a lot of minor injuries than one major one.
I'll try and spell it out for you:
I never said sportspeople are paid based solely on those factors, I asked you to come up with a sport that is overpaid BASED ON THOSE FACTORS.
The original question mentioned risk, earning potential and skill. YOU keep trying to throw other factors into the mix that were neither mentioned nor have any bearing on the ones that were.
Market worth does not affect the time a baseball player spends actually playing baseball so, in the context of the question is irrelevant.
