Some people are against a salary cap and believe the richest team should reap all the benefits. Sometimes sports teams bring in a superstar player just to fill seats. If attendance is low, a general manager might decide to bring in a player who is well known. This player usually is labeled by the term, “fan favorite.” Raising attendance means more money in the team’s pocket. Which means more money can be spent on players.
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
Both the players and the owners presented lots of good detailed information illustrating their side of the argument. Upon lots of review, I have decided that I think the players are right in their argument. They presented interesting truths that suggest to me that the owners are both trying to hide some significant income, and, not defer a great deal of player salary (as they should be). WHY? If you study the case, especially as it relates to player salary and to owner generated income from stadium operations it is clear that the owners are doing everything they can to at a minimum, have a yearly balance of zero.
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.
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
A strong fan base and park attendance brings in revenue from ticket sales, concessions, and souvenirs (MC3 Sports Media, 2010). If the small market fans feel the team does not have the best players, it will determine how they feel about attending the games. What is unfortunate for the smaller market cities is the fans will come out in larger crowds when a visiting team comes to town with the best players. What is fortunate is the small market team owner will make money and expectantly will have the funds available to bargain in the next season for better
If this this is something MoveOn practices, I don’t think I can support this part completely. I believe politicians should sell us on the good they have been able to do before they were elected, their character, and weather or not they will be to person who really listens to the people and makes our voices heard. I will acknowledge that MoveOn supports many candidates through donations that are less than $20 and that is something I would rather have than major corporations donating billions to “buy”
Even if they had good players they’d probably be bought out by the richer teams because their contracts would expire and they also had the money to do so. But the vicious cycle continues for the poorer teams because it is extremely hard for them to get good players that they want because they cant afford them. The only way to get out of this mess is to get continuous amounts of high draft picks and that could take a decade for a team to be able to contend! This is what happened with the Tampa Bay Rays. After they finished last in their division every year of their existence the timing of high draft picks for a decade created a good team.
We have all been in some position where we cannot do anything about it because its part of the rules. Changing or broadening the rules like how rough is too rough and the timing of late hits, would increase the enjoyment of the viewer. The less time there is being spent on explaining penalties the more the spectators are going to watch and invest there money in watching the games. If the spectator is happy then everyone is happy, the teams’ revenue would go up, fans would get more for their money, and the officials would not get such a bad reputation as being the ones that slow the game down. As you watch your next football game, you will see that the rules need to be revised.
