Diego Maradona was a professional soccer player most known for his International achievements. It was said that he failed a couple of drug tests and that he was on cocaine. Many people lost respect for him when they heard this. He denied doing drugs at first, but he then admitted to it. Professional athletes should be banned from their sport for doing drugs because young people look up to them and they are putting a bad example. Doping in sports is not allowed in any sport, and should not be…

“People complain that professional athletes get paid too much, but what they don’t understand is that we need a lot of money because we spend a lot of money,” is a quote from Patrick Ewing, a famous NBA star. His quote directly shows that athletes are being paid too much. For example athletes get paid a great deal more than the working class. They also get paid way more than surgeons, who save lives. There are also orphanages who barely make enough money to keep the kids safe. In all, athletes…

LeBron James and many other athletes make millions of dollars each year. Yes, professional athletes do gain their salary because they are extremely impressive, but they are not worth millions of dollars than nurses, firefighters, and policemen that dedicate their lives for the rest of us. However, athletes are overpaid. Some people think that these athletes are not overpaid. Tom Brady makes $36 million in one year. Compare that with the average income for a family: $54,000. Americans will work a…

Are professional athletes making too much money? In most professional sports athletes are making millions. Athletes are not making too much money, we are the ones that support them, they give up their lives for the sport, and they want to do as much for their families as they can. We can’t blame the athletes for all their money when we are the ones paying for the games and supporting it. Sports is something that keeps a lot of people going, some people think about sports all the time, day and…

Do you think athletes deserve tremendous amounts of dollars? Should athletes be paid less? Athletes are overpaid millions more than “regular people” in an entire lifetime. Many people have decided whether or not pro athletes are overpaid, but have you? Your decision will be the one that counts the most in this debate between what might be good, or bad. Surprisingly, not even the President of the United States makes as much as professional athletes do in a yearly income. Although he runs…

Athletes are such an attraction. What a talent!... but if that’s a talent than can saving a life be known as a talent? I ask this question because doctors, nurses, and so much more, do this for a living. So aren’t these “life savers” whose job is to save lives, the real talent? The thing conflict here is that athletes are paid a great sum of money while our life savers are not even close. What does it say about our society when we pay our athletes more than our life savers? And yes, athletes do…

Should performance enhancing drugs (such as steroids) be accepted in sports? James kirkup M.A. made a statement on Nov.10.2015 on the article titles “athletics doping crisis is just another reason to allow drugs in sports” he states that “ what should happen is this: doping should be allowed.

There are two sides to this argument; one side believes that athletes are being paid too much and are not worthy of being glorified as role models and an additional side where people believe athletes can be great role models and earn the money they receive. The following argument will give evidence of how athletes can be great role models and how they earn their money. The amount of money received by athletes is looked down upon, but being a professional athlete is not only a job, but also a…

Have you ever wanted to become a pro athlete? What's not to love? They are all really strong, they get to play sports all the time and they get a lot of money. Some people question if an athlete should get high salaries. Athletes should get high salaries because they donate a lot of money to charity and hospitals, athletes work their entire lives to get into pro leagues and only some players get really high salaries. First, Sport players donate a lot of money to charities and hospitals to help…

Much like Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in the movie 'Twins', the walkie-talkie can claim to have many fathers. However, one of the most prominent names in the debate (and maybe the one with the single strongest claim to having invented the walkie-talkie) is Canadian/American inventor Al Gross. The son of Romanian immigrants, Al Gross was born in Toronto, Canada in 1918, but his parents moved to Cleveland, Ohio, USA when he was quite young. Whilst on a steamboat trip across Lake Erie, the…
