A numerous amount of people believe that athletes are overpaid. Compared to people who work and dedicate their entire life‚ their income added up all these years still does not add up to how much an athlete makes per year (Averagely‚ people make around 50‚000 dollars per year.) This is all the more why athletes

Do you have a role model? Have you ever tried so hard to do something? Well‚ that’s what athletes’ do for a living. Many people say that athletes’ are overpaid but I disagree. An athlete like LeBron James deserves a good salary for all the work he has done and the self-image he creates. The sports industry contains many jobs from cheerleading to coaching and if players were terrible why would anyone work for them? Jobs‚ they pay for our necessities. There are many jobs that are involved with

Overpaid professional athletes The topic I chose for my essay is overpaid professional athletes. I chose this topic because I think athletes are getting paid way too much money. Athletes get paid way too much for what they contribute to society. They contribute very little compared to other careers that give so much to society but make very little salaries. The professional athletes that people look up too are most of the time bad role models and the ones who are the real heros don’t get

“Professional athletes are extremely overpaid for the jobs they do.” The issue of overpaid pro athletes has been around for numerous years. The fact that a man that plays football and plays on a regular basis‚ plays for about 15-16 weeks. That man gets paid over a million dollars at least! I mean if you think about the fact that these players get paid more than the president in most situations‚ It seems hugely absurd! To think that that man plays for such a small amount of time and gets paid so

YES THEY ARE OVERPAID. Athletes are talented human beings but are they worth the millions that they are paid? Male athletes are among the most highly paid people in the world. Especially in basketball and football‚ every player is enormously paid. Though economics is the key to understanding why these athletes earn such tremendous salaries‚ still‚ it fails to explain why they actually do deserve it. Giving athlete’s high wages does not only distort them‚ but also bring downfall to clubs and the

ATHLETES OVERPAID? I am a huge fan of the entertainment industry. I believe it takes a lot of skill and tact to do what they do and I also strongly know that professional actors and athletes are not overpaid. My reasons are: Firstly‚ there are certain roles actors and actresses play in movies depending on the genre of such movies. For instance‚ if an actor or an actress is having a play a sexual role‚ he or she will have to be paid a large sum of money because in most cases such people
