I'm all for better teaching wages and conditions, but I never liked this argument. You're comparing world class athletes entertaining millions to the average teacher educating hundreds. The average athlete (the other 99% not in the big leagues) makes WAY less than the average teacher (little to nothing). Anyone teaching millions of people (writing books/making programs/etc) could well be making millions themselves. Same goes for comparisons to world class actors, musicians, entrepreneurs, etc.
