Athletes do a lot of training and not all students are able to play the game. Some argue that they should not be paid because they are just amateurs and if paid, they will become professional players. Having the student-athletes spend their time in the classroom and in the field playing, how many of them will get a job? However, some claim that they are being given a scholarship, but it does not cover everything. This is evident especially when the college athletes cannot afford to bring their parents to the stadium to watch their children while playing.
The ones that become professional athletes have worked from a young age and put in thousands of hours practicing which goes along with the old saying “Time Is Money”. These players sacrifice their bodies and spend hours in rehab or taking pain medication because of it. That kind of strenuous activity all the time puts strain on your body and athletes pay for that in the future. Athletes also lose most of their privacy due to the media. Athletes have to do countless numbers of interviews to keep the people happy.
For one thing, those people worked hard for the money they made. Athletes make tons of money by hitting a ball with a stick of wood or throwing a ball around. Next, these people don’t make that much more money than pro athletes. For example, Michael Fascitelli made $64.4 million in 2013. Another example, Ralph Lauren in 1976 earned $7.5 billion.

players get paid; lacrosse, field hockey, softball, baseball, soccer players get nothing. You know what that's called? Capitalism. ”(Wilbon, July 18, 2011). This is true because the big sports who bring in all the revenue deserve the pay.
Some athletes won’t feel the need to have passion for the game when they’ve already worked up to what they’ve aimed for; making money by being the best. A “pro” mindset would sooner or later take over. That would be athletes who don’t try because they’ve already reached the best that they can be. Not many of them go “pro” anyways. As of www.businessinsider.com , for example, about %1.7 of all college football players will play as a pro after school.
“Cristiano Ronaldo makes $56 million a year, Kobe Bryant made $250 million a year and Barack Obama made $400,000 a year during his presidency...” (O'Connor ). Professional athletes are paid millions of dollars to play a game while police officers, firefighters, army soldiers, and even the president are paid significantly less. “It’s not shocking that public servants like teachers and police officers make less than professional athletes”(Figueroa). Compensation shouldn't be about entertainment, it should be about job importance because people are trying to make the world a better and safer place not a more entertaining place.
For example, according to insidethegames.biz studies have found that professional sport players typically spend 10,000 hours before they become one of the best in the sport. In particular about the revenues players bring to their club, a soccer team from Paris pays 227 million dollars for their players and they get back 578 million in revenues. On the other hand, the highest paying NFL team is the Oakland Raiders which spent 160 million dollars and get back 301 million in revenue. To put it differently, that is 210 million dollars different in profit. With this in mind, the players should get pay the money they deserve due to the club
People know that doctors and firefighters save lives, while athletes play a game to make money. Even teachers pay isn’t anywhere near to athletes; they educate the generation’s youth so they can make a difference in the future. So many jobs that are very important don’t get paid as much and that money can go towards better causes. But these are only some of the reasons that pro athletes get paid too much.
Is this okay? It is not okay for a pair shoes to cost millions while there are 4 billion people who are living in poverty. Hunger and disease have destroyed the lives of the poor while rich people waste money on buying such extravagant shoes instead of using their monies on shoes that cost millions they could have rather shared it with the poor because we know the poor needs financial help to be able to pay for their basic needs, as common intuitions state.
These professional athletes help pave a way for future athletes, and also set an example for not only young players, but also society in
There could be a policeman with an entire family, and an athlete will make more than them in one paycheck, while that family is making significantly less in 10 years.
