Those opposing will likely argue that there are numerous jobs and positions that deserver higher wages for their line of work, as well as numerous other reasons, while professional athletes are doing nothing of importance, and for some reason making millions. Are professional athletes making millions to entertain? Yes they are. Do they deserve less because they support themselves, and their families, differently than most? No they
The teams have less money for promotions, advertising, and field or court maintenance. Caps help keep player from getting too greedy and wanting more money. Most NBA players today are money hungry and overly-confident in their abilities. If you buy the player for what their worth, and sell them for what they think they’re worth, you would make an extremely heavy profit. If a talented player is on a successful team, they’re going to want to stay on that particular team regardless of a few million dollars.
Salaries of Professional Athletes Philip Bruce (200217750) COMM1000-12S-30017 Robin Parkes Wednesday, August 8 2012 Salaries of Professional Athletes Should professional athletes be paid so much higher than other professionals? Why is it that doctors, firemen, teachers and others who save lives and sacrifice so much have to work so hard for their everyday living and get paid much less than pro-athletes? In an age of increasing income disparity and hardships for many, this poses a question about logic and morality. Pro-athletes are simply engaged in a fun sport and likely doing what they love best. Should they be paid that high?
When our country is in need of millions of dollars, why not take some from the sports-entertainment business; it seems they have money to burn. Sports athletes are paid outrageous amounts of money to produce the simple entertainment of a game, while the most respected positions in society are robbed of the money that they deserve. Running a country seems to be a lesser duty than kicking a field goal, but if the public wants it, you can watch it. The supply and demand factor will continue as long as the demand is there; but when will our society put an end to this
Footballers seem to think that they are recession free despite the club that they play for is losing money and on the edge of bankruptcy and the main banks in huge debt, footballers still demand their pay. Craig Johnston in a report for the Telegraph described the footballers as ‘living in la la land’ as ‘footballers don’t need that much money, footballers don’t need THREE Ferraris’’. I agree with this statement as footballers could easily live of the average salary (£33,000) and have one or two ‘normal’ cars. Although it is in human nature to accept the millions if they are offered
Are athletes getting paid too much? One side says they deserve the money they receive for playing professional sports. The people who think other wise don't understand how the lifestyle of a professional athlete really is or who would get the money we spend if the athlete's didn't get it. They just see those huge salary numbers and think that it is unfair that the general working class doesn’t make that amount of money. Professional athletes are some of the most dedicated and hardest working people in world.
Speech Outline Purpose Statement: The purpose of this speech is to show the audience why college athletes should be paid. Thesis Statement: College athletes deserve to be paid for a variety of reasons including: Introduction: As an athlete it is obvious that the harder you work the more success you have and every athlete’s dream is to play professionally. I feel that one of the major problems of being a college athlete is that you cannot get paid for playing. The NCAA makes millions of dollars a year off of student athletes. Body: 1.
Of course many athletes receive scholarships, but young financially underprivileged students can't always balance school, athletics, and a job. Because of this, college athletes should be paid for playing for their college to firstly, help them financially accommodate their expensive lifestyles, give them the money they played hard to earn, carry on their academics and finally to allow for stress free recuperation
By this he means he is fighting for his family. He is fighting to get money for his family to live. This shows that not all athletes in the 30’s were wealthy. In contrast to today, athletes are usually extremely wealthy. Even though Jim was an outstanding athlete he still struggled financially as well as many other athletes did in the 1930’s.
The cost of this would be extremely detrimental to colleges if they were able to afford it at all. However, colleges do not necessarily need to pay the athletes. They simply need to lift the amateur status and allow them to sell their gear, make money off their jersey sales, profit from their likeness in video games, and accept money and benefits from alumni or sport fanatics that want to help them. This would allow the athletes to make enough money to live above the poverty line and colleges would not need to treat the athletes as
