"Overpaid" is an opinion in a Capitalist economy. Athletes are paid so highly because they are in very high demand, and the sport industries make a significant amount of money off of this demand. Because the industries make so much money, they pay as much as they can to attract the best players to play for their team, as most players are going to play for whoever offers them the most money. If society wanted to reduce athletes' pay, the way to do that would be to eliminate the demand of athletes and the industry would no longer profit.
This is a difficult question, as there is no such thing as free stuff. Someone always has to pay! - Are you asking if the government should use our tax dollars to pay for retired athletes chiropractic care? - Are you asking if chiropractors should donate their time to treat retired athletes? - Are you asking if insurance companies should pay for chiropractic care for retired athletes (right now most insurance companies already pay for chiropractic care for athletes and non-athletes). In all three of these cases, someone still has to "pay", so its never "free". The question becomes, who should pay? Chiropractors? Athletes? The public (via taxes)? Insurance companies?
