Wouldn’t it be amazing to be paid nearly $111 million a year just because you played a game? Many athletes are being paid big bucks just like famous quarterback Andrew Luck. But do these famous athletes really deserve all those millions of dollars? In my opinion‚ they are definitely being paid an excessive amount of money. Professional athletes are paid too much money in an unfair way because they are paid more than the people who “perform more valuable services”‚ and the money they earn could be

There are thousands of athletes getting paid millions of dollars for just playing a season of basketball‚ football‚ baseball‚ and etc. While nurses‚ firefighters‚ police officers‚ and the military are risking their lives for complete strangers.

Women are being paid unjustly for the equal work they are doing. Ever since women entered the workforce‚ there has always been a wage gap. In 1963 an Equal Pay Act was signed‚ saying that it is unlawful for women to be paid less than men for their work.

For many years there has been a huge discussion on whether college athletes should be paid. John Thelin wrote an article called “Here’s Why We Shouldn’t Pay College Athletes‚” stating his reasons on why he believes that athletes should not be paid.
