Why Do Athletes Get Paid Than 10 Million Dollars
Although some may disagree about athletes getting paid more than 10 million dollars they do hard work for that money. I think that they should not be paid almost 10 million dollars because that type of money can go to homeless people and kids they can go to kids to get their diploma to go to college and get a good job.
Ten million dollars could go to buildings that are needed. In my opinion is i think it should go homeless people more than anything cause they could have been through a lot. For example a homeless man’s wife could of died and he could have been left with no money and left on the street to die.
Ten million dollars can go to children’s schools that are poor and don’t have enough money to feed the kids or make schools fun Ten

    The side I agree with is pros, which means yes college athletes should get paid. I think this because they should get the money the need. I say this because college athletes will have to do two things, And it may come to having to leave your sport activity early or quitting the job, And do you really want to do any of those? Also because they maybe have a family to take care of and they can't do it without money right? Maybe even have a family member that's hurt/ dieing/ or even dead. And you have to go to the funeral or go help them and see if they're doing ok.…

    I believe they should be able to make this much money because, they worked hard for what they do, they followed their dream, and the sports we play are real dangerous so they need the money like we need ours. Kobe Bryant makes a lot of money a year for doing what he does best. He is good at what he does, Bryant makes 25 million dollars a year, most of us wish we can make that much a year but he followed his dream by keep pushing and playing sports.…

    I have finally decided what I’m doing with the money you gave me. Progressivism was a time when people tried to change things. I have figured out how to divide the $1,000,000 to help.

    Mrs. Lopez also says, “I believe that three million is more than they need in a surplus, way more than they need. Maybe somewhere between half a million to a million, but no more than that.” This is the one thing that a majority of people agree on. They think that three million is much too…

    On the other hand, there are some reasons on why they shouldn’t get paid. The problem with paying the athletes is would all the athletes be paid the same? If so it would be unfair for players that don’t show up on national television is getting paid the same amount as an athlete competing with 33 million people watching them. Also, they shouldn’t be paid if they are on a athletic scholarship. If players think they’re good enough to be paid then they can make it to the professionals.…

    The last reason that I think that college athletes should get paid is because most athletes work really hard to be in that sport do college and some of them have jobs and families they have to keep up with. Some of the athletes that have jobs could get stressed out with all the work they have. If they get paid they can have just a little bit less things to do off their chest.…

    Prosperous people are the changemakers and bridge the gap between the haves and have nots. Yet these people should be careful how much and who they are giving their money to. Lower income citizens tend to take advantage of money simply gifted to them. Spending money on things that will not help the poor prosper, is an ostentatious quality known as conspicuous consumption. The gap between the rich and poor is large today because of conspicuous consumption. Superfluous purchases do not help the economy and create an unhealthy impression of status. Carnegie believed that the wealthy should focus on is building opportunities for the poor so they are able to pull themselves up economically and improve themselves. Funding should aid the crafting of public amenities such as public libraries, colleges, culture, art, and public works. To raise their standard of living would help grow the industrial economy to help those who don’t have property. Andrew Carnegie lived the example of his theories by building Carnegie Hall and supporting education with his wealth. Carnegie’s idea is not realistic today because our economy would collapse, yet it’s still worth considering giving to the unfortunate to give others quality education and…

    What/who are athletes really playing for? Professional athletes are getting overpaid, but no one is really stopping and thinking about it. I think that Professional athletes shouldn't get paid as much money.But on the other hand, many professional athletes may disagree and say that it’s the right amount of money and not too much. However I think that the facts that support my opinion overshadow the counter statement because there is a bundle of information that exists to support my claim. Athletes should get paid less because they have all this extra money to spend and important people around the world don’t get paid as much money, also athletes are just playing for the entertainment of others.…

    Yes, professional athletes and actors are paid to much. Professional athletes and actors get paid a substantial amount of money for one game, or movie. While our men and women in the United States Military are struggling to feed their families. It is a sad commentary on our societal values that these entertainers are taking in seven million dollars a years or more. While teachers, police officers, and firefighters make less than one percent of the income of some athletes and actors. Even if an athlete or actor is having a bad seaon they still recieve there contract ensured pay.…
