Because what is "good" for society is highly subjective and endlessly debatable.

I don't really see how that's relevant. Even the most cursory examination of sports athletes would reveal that they do a very small amount of good for a very large number of people.

You asked if they were overpaid. The propriety of their level of payment requires a judgment to be made about the value of the "good" they provide. Every person will place a different value on that "good" depending on one's individual perspective. Your perspective seems to be that athletes do a little good for a lot of people. Others may differ. I dont see what is so unstandard about this.
