Dolphins players crawl across field searching for $50,000 earring

Miami Dolphins defensive end Kendall Langford lost one of his $50,000 earrings during practice because he forgot to remove them beforehand.

This is why people don't have sympathy for professional athletes.

Whenever someone complains about how ridiculous the enormous contracts are that pro athletes sign, I always defend the athletes by saying they're paid according to their market value. It's a stance that I feel everyone should apply to their own profession. But, it's stories like this that make it difficult to justify. When you make enough money to sport $100,000 earrings...be responsible for them. There's a sentence I never thought I'd say.
