Probably yes, but given the demand and it being a highly skilled job for the players that earn the really big money, I'd argue no, and footballers careers compared to your average profession is way way shorter so they 'need' to make the money while they can if that makes sense. Quite a few of them struggle afterwards

Footballers wages are also heavily taxed too, which doesn't show up when people talk about how much they earn. and of course that means they're paying alot in taxes which is good for the economy also

I don't think it's as outrageous as other sports like Golf, tennis etc, where you can win ALOT for one tournament, at least football has settled wages and you do alot more to 'win' at your sport

Footballers also do alot more work physically nearly every day than what popstars/movie stars would do
