They could be injured severely during a practice or a game. Once injured they could lose their jobs. They also do not get their money from the government, they are paid by sports fanatics. If the military was paid more than the sports players, it would promote violence. Professional athletes also spend thousands of dollars donating to charity.…

oday, athletes are getting paid more than ever. If you are a professional athlete at the highest levels, you are most likely making millions of dollars. "How is this fair?" some may ask.
