One reason i feel they are not overpaid is they had earned to be there they had earned to be playing on that field. Also the better you are the more the teams are going to want to pay for you to be on their team. I also know that athletes had injuries that can cost up to $70,000. Like Paul George when he snapped his leg is basketball that costed approximately $65,000 dollars for surgery. One example is Tom Brady he is a 5 time super bowl champ quarterback.…
It’s easy to victimize professional athletes because all you see are ball players, but they are much more than ball players. There are a lot that comes with what they do. All their contributions proves they are not overpaid. This society would be affected tremendously without NBA players. They are paid what they…
I have gotten some reasons why I think that they should get paid. One reason is that the money they make will help later on in life. If athletes start getting paid they will be able to help support a family and pay for most school related activities and supplies. According to CNNMoney most athletes are getting paid around $2,000 to $5,000 a year. Some schools have been seen giving students a few extra thousand more then that.…
College sports players should NOT be paid. They are working toward a career, not magically receiving one. The reality of sports being treated better than the other students should not have been, but it was and carried on from elementary throughout high school. They should not be privileged anymore, but should get a job and work more for pay like everybody else. This concept even being considered is disgusting to me.…
Although sports do make them lots of money, the colleges spend most of that money on the athlete’s scholarship, getting them each of them to places all over the country, paying for their nice uniforms and coaches, and building their stadiums. The athletes are still students, why should they get paid for doing a sport at college? Other students don’t get paid for getting good grades or winning some sort of award in a club. Playing a sport while your still in high school isn’t a job, it is a hobby. Professional sports player have warm up seasons and practice almost every day plus games.…
There has been continued debate about if the athletes should be paid to play, or if the money from their scholarships is enough. There are many reasons why athletes should be paid, they are: universities are making extreme amounts of money off of the players names, there is a large time commitment, and players may not be able to afford college. The first reason why athletes should be paid is because the…
Also, America’s economy has a percentage that it relies on pro sport events. There are many reasons people can come up with for each side of this argument. There are many people who would say that soldiers should be paid more. In others opinions, they think pro sport players should be paid more.…
Have you ever watched a pro-athlete on T.V? Did you think that they made the game look easy? Many think that pro-athletes like Lebron James, a professional basketball player, are overpaid. I strongly disagree, i do not think that athletes are overpaid. One, you can’t put a price on talent, two they have to pay medical bills if they get injured, three they dedicate their lives to playing a sport.…
Some of these high paid athletes don't even know how to cash a check. Athletes don't contribute to society .Athletes get paid way too much money for just playing sports A lot of kids look up to athletes. Kids see how much athletes make and they want to be like them but it's an almost impossible goal.…
Or what about the surgeon who has saved so many lives? Or the teacher who would do anything to help her students? Why don’t they deserve to get as paid as much? Athletes are great at what they do and I believe that they should be paid, but not millions of…
Although some people think athletes get paid way too much money Although some athletes are giving their money to charity some are spending it on junk many people think that most of the athletes should give a decent amount of money to the charity to do something out of the goodness of there hart instead of buying new cars if they did give to charity the kids would have more ways pay for their surgeries, medical bills, many kids don't have a way to pay for their medical bills,surgeries,so they can't have them done so they get really sick and die. First and foremost the athletes that don't give to charity they should if it was the other way around and the athlete was in the same condition the athlete would want someone to donate so he…
Athletes should be payed less because the people making the money don’t always deserve it,…
The world of men’s college athletics is intense; full of testosterone infused, ultra-competitive athletes and corrupt coaches all vying for a spot in the nation’s biggest championships. So what does this amount to? A friendly bunch of folks all participating in games for the fun of it? While this might be the case for few, the majority of college athletics is much more complex than that. It is a billion dollar business, fueled by a few thousand young men with the carrot of their lifelong dream-becoming a professional athlete, dangling over their heads.…
In all, athletes are being overpaid immensely. Professional athletes get paid a tremendous amount compared to the working class. The average salary for a professional athlete is into the millions, while the working class gets about $40,000 a year or less. This outrageous,…
For the example of a firefighter and a police officer, they should be paid as much as footballers should be, because they are true honorary heros. Police officers are paid to protect and serve, and firefighters are paid to put out fires. Both of those things are very extraordinary to do. For footballers, they are just paid to kick a soccer ball into a goal which is way too much money as a fact. People that have jobs that save many lives almost to risk their own lives should be paid as much as footballers, but not overpaid.…
