Yes, I agree that it’s their money and they should be able to do what they want with it. But if you limit the amount of money they have then you may help prevent negative actions from happening in the future. Let’s be honest, if you see a lot of zeros on your bank account you won’t be as worried about what you are buying, this is what catches up to NFL players.

I think the coaches and school should continue paying the players to play. One reason that pro football players should get paid is that they start in high school and play football in college then when draft day comes they hope and pray that they were good enough to get selected by the national football league to play for one of the teams. Then they train to build muscle and drop calories to meet the standards that the NFL wants them to meet in order to play. Then the players work on the of the position they play for example a wide receiver may work on foot work and catching,and a running back may work…

College athletes should get paid enough to buy clothes, food, supplies, and that money could come from getting a piece of money made off of their merchandise. Some college athletes have no money to support themselves in college. College athletes should be paid because of the amount of time themselves and the school put into practicing or playing games, more students would stay in college instead of leaving to the pros for money, the money that the NCAA has available, and the student athletes do not get any share of money or benefits when anything with their name or number gets sold.…
Decreased Military Pay Each year average soldiers are paid anywhere from $19,818 to $62,031.They not only risk their lives, but also they spend time away from their families that they will never get back, eat pre-packaged food worse than the school cafeteria, wake up at the crack of dawn to train, and receive hardly any time for themselves . Not to mention the benefits after they serve for our country. After all of the common citizen privileges that they give up, they are still not credited enough.

There are also orphanages who barely make enough money to keep the kids safe.…
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.…
