I feel that professional athletes and entertainers should not earn large sums of money because we are in an…

making is the utilitarian approach. The utilitarian approach focuses on the consequences of an action.

One reason why other professions deserve more money is because Peyton Manning made more money in one season than an average worker makes in their lifetime. Also, athletes make…

The average salary of a professional NBA player is about 5.15 million dollars. When one takes this massive amount of dough and compares it to the average salary of a middle class citizen, which ranges from 42,000 dollars to 125,000 dollars, one would notice that the NBA player makes substantially more than the average citizen. Professional athletes should have smaller salaries because jobs that save lives get payed way less, ---, and the money they are getting could be used to help the community…

rare to become an athlete. The most popular high school sport is football. Not to mention that over one million high schoolers play football and only 6.5% of those will play college and only 1.6% college players will be drafted to play in the NFL("Probability of Competing beyond high school").

overpaid? Think about your favorite player in whichever sport you truly enjoy. How much money do you think they make each season? An athlete in the NBA makes an average 5 million a year, whereas an NFL player would make about 2-3 million dollars a year. But when you add up the prices that their association makes a year, their owners make a year, or even a game, there would be a difference. Athletes are not overpaid because businesses related to sports get paid much more than those athletes,…
