    Professional Athletes are not overpaid In my short life‚ if there is one thing I have noticed about the sports industry‚ it’s that money talks. Drew Brees just recently signed a $100 million dollar contract with the New Orleans Saints to play for five more years. Kobe Bryant of the Lakers made $25 million last year alone‚ while Alex Rodriguez made $32 million. This sure seems like a lot on money for men to be making just to play sports‚ or is it? Professional Athletes are very good at what

    Are We Handing Out Paychecks for Hobbies? We often look at college athletes as miniature stars. The question is‚ why should student’s athlete get a paycheck for playing amateur level sports? Athletes complain about how they do not get enough for playing a sport. They are forgetting that they are being rewarded with a half or full scholarship. The main goal for these athletes is being academically successful. Not who has the best jump shot or who fumbled a ball‚ that does not matter. The essence of

    ‘The Suitors and the disloyal servants get what they deserve.’ How far do you agree with this statement? In the closing passages of the Odyssey‚ the suitors and disloyal servants are punished for their crimes against Odysseus‚ and it does indeed seem that the death penalty doled out by Odysseus is harsh. However‚ at this particular period of Greek history‚ it was expected that each man take his own vengeance against his trespassers as there was no judicial system in place to deal with these problems

    Pro Athletes Most people in America probably have a pretty good argument when they say they are being paid too little to do too much. Professional sports stars‚ on the other hand‚ display a lot of nerve when they use such a phrase. Sports stars are also held to lower standards than are other people. With the high-salary and low-moral standards‚ sports stars are the most overrated and overpaid people on the planet. For example‚ Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics‚ who started his professional basketball

    enhancing drugs in sport is a rising problem in professional sports. Drug use is hazardous to the person using them as well as to other people who are dealing with them.

    Athletes are worth the money that they are paid.

    Athletes make too much money. Athletes hardly have to work for their money‚ and their pay is insanely high. However‚ they do put a lot of strain on their bodies. Athletes should be paid much less than what they are currently paid. Athletes hardly work for their money. As a matter of fact‚ Kobe Bryant used to make more money making two field goals than an average person would in a year. That is ridiculous. Sports stars hardly have to work for their pay‚ and several times‚ one will make a million
