    and lawyers also makes for a potentially sticky situation as the athlete becomes older. As a young‚ collegiate athlete focused on sports‚ the student potentially misses out on opportunities to build their resume with employment and skills. They also might not take advantage of other aspects of the university‚ such as internships in their major or classes on interviewing.

    for years about whether a college athlete should be paid or not and if athletes deserve to be paid for what they do at that level‚ after already being paid to go to school there‚ for most of the players. When athletes go to college they still put themselves in the same physical danger as a professional athlete does. The NCAA alone is a multi-billion dollar industry that generated over 845 billion dollars last year in 2011.Facts have shown that college athletes in the NCAA‚ on an annual salary‚ make

    The Olympic Athlete I always have respected Olympic athletes‚ for they spend all their time training. Victorious athletes were professionals in the sense that they lived off the glory of their achievement ever afterwards. Their hometowns might reward them with: free meals for the rest of their lives‚ honorary appointments‚ or leadership positions in the community. The victors were memorialized in statues and also in victory songs‚ and commissioned from famous poets. Today‚ the Olympic Games are

    Athletes‚ under the age of 21 years‚ should be eligible to be drafted into a professional sports team. Playing in a professional sport is a career and setting a limit based on age to when someone can start his or her career is absurd. “Currently‚ to be eligible for the NBA Draft‚ a player has to be at least 19-years-old or one year removed from high school.” (Jessop.2014) In the one year removed from high school‚ the athlete can choose to attend college and declare if he or she would be eligible

    Many professional athletes and entertainers get paid far more than most of today’s doctors and veterinarians. It makes it seem like their positions are better than a doctor’s or teacher’s position. It upsets many of the workers who try to insure health‚ education‚ and agriculture. It can also put low-salary workers to shame. I disagree with the athletes’ and entertainers’ high salary because it makes them seem more important than other professional workers‚ it makes them richer than other professional
