The big superstars of the teams also get bonus for scoring a touchdown, making a basket, making a goal, and getting on base. The fans want to watch a game in person not on television, but they can’t afford to go to the games because the ticket prices are too expensive, so they have to sit at home watching the game. Owners of team franchises have to pay their athletes so much because of the countless hours of hard work they put in year around. “Many athletes put in over 40 hours a week with practices, study, workouts, and game time” (bleacherreport.com). The countless hours over many years takes toll on their bodies is why they should make as much as they.
In this cut throat and disproportioned world, we see imbalance like no other time in history. Children are starving, while athletes play a sport they love and get paid fortunes to do it. We live in a world where people drive 13 cars to where people can’t afford shoes to walk miles every day just to get water for their family to live. Once a symbol of international pride and the love of fair play, sport brought countries out of war to come together to test their skill ("United nations," 2008). Now it is a get rich scheme where the rich get rich and the poor will stay poor.
When Babe was asked about making thousand dollars more than the President of the United States that year, he replied, “I had a better year than he did.” This is just one example of the many overpaid athletes around the world. I would also like to talk about Kevin Brown he signed a seven-year, contract worth $105 million. He hasn’t been able to play half of the contract due to his injuries. He’s basically getting paid to sit at home all day and do nothing. Professional athletes are getting paid more and more as time goes by, before it was $4.7 million now it’s more than $85 million and growing.
The price of destructive fire is estimated at over $11 billion a year in the U.S. Loss of businesses leads to loss of jobs, which is a price that is beyond calculation. It is sobering to come to the realization that the richest and most technologically advanced nation in the world led all major industrialized countries in per capita deaths and property loss from fire during that time. Chapter 2 Living Victims Of The Tragedy. The Commission outlines the struggles of victims who are maimed and disfigured by burn injuries. The reader is made aware that half of these victims are children, who must live out the rest of their lives with physical, as well as
The average American only makes $41,673.83 annually according to the social security online national wage index, but it is said that the average NBA player makes a stunning $4,790,000 per year. It seems crazy that the average NBA player makes more in a week than the average American does in a year, but yet they are still arguing with team owners over slight pay cuts. The NBA lockout has been all over the news for months, and it seems extremely silly that millionaires are arguing with billionaires over how to divvy up four billion dollars. Due to this topics extreme publicity and silliness; many fans have felt a sense of exigency, in a rhetoric sense, and have decided to speak out on the issue. David Heeb, a high school teacher and basketball

I figure Rob Hall spends a lot of his paycheck paying off his own hospital bills because of his various ailments he receives from climbing a snow-covered mountain his entire life. I detest cold weather so there is no way I would pay anybody $65,000 to freeze my tail off and physically push myself to the extreme at the same time. Chapter 4-5 Chapters 4-5 explain how the mountain climbing business has caused the surrounding villages to greatly profit. Krakauer describes how he will see the local Sherpas wearing merchandise and t-shirts with professional American athletic team logos. The men of the villages are acclimatized to the harsh conditions so they prove to be perfect assistants in the mountain climbing process.
To go along with the 4,400 Americans that wont be coming home to their families, there were over 32,000 Americans wounded in this war. So was this $4 trillion dollar war really wort our time and the lives it cost us? I say no, I feel we spent far too long helping a country that wanted nothing but for us to leave their country for years. We have cost too many lives, and have changed too many lives with injuries to justify a war where we simply just pull out. The results did not justify the losses America took, including how negative our image has become over the years, the financial hole we dug ourselves into, and the way we've affected Americans for the
For example, Christiano Ronaldo’s monthly salary 2012-2013 is said to be about £800,000, whereas a private in the army would make £14,000 per year. So why do footballers get paid so much more? A large part of it comes from supply and demand. Wage rate is determined by supply and demand of that occupation. Take Christiano Ronaldo for example, as highlighted above.
But if they do that, players and fans lose. It is estimated that a lockout would impact 150,000 jobs -- and cause more than $140 million in lost revenue in each and every NFL city -- some $4.5 billion across America. If there's a lockout, stadium employees will be jobless. Sports bars, police officers, restaurants, hotels and various support staff who work supporting the game also will be affected. NFL owners are demanding a number of outrageous wage-and-benefit concessions without justification.
