Hundreds of Millions of dollars all around the world are being used to pay our athletes. My question is should they be paid this astronomical amount of money. Certain athletes earn millions while various people all around the world can barely afford the necessities, such as food, water and shelter. This is a problem that desperately needs to be addressed. To achieve this we should employ taxes, but the money made off this should go to charity, also we should lower salary caps, thus we restrict the amounts teams can spend on their players. In this report, I will be explaining why athletes should be paid less…
Are professional athletes being paid too much? According to Charles Ray, athletes are making a lot more then they should be. Some players are making more then a brain surgeon would, yet the athletes don’t have to go through the pressure of saving lives. The money they’re getting paid could most definitely go to a different cause, instead of paying excessive amounts to hit a ball or shoot a basket.…
Many of today's top-paid athletes have exclusive contracts. Some act in commercials, although they're not actors. Others endorse name-brand products, yet they're not businessmen. The only thing they have going for them is their fame as a good, or great athlete. Not only are they getting an outrageous salary to play sports, they are also getting a huge kickback for the products or services they…
How would you like to get paid millions just because people like to watch you do your job? Well that is exactly what is happening in the world of professional sports. Athletes are being over paid just to play play a game. This kind of income promotes over spending and bad life choices by many playing sports. The salaries of professional athletes need to bee lowered.

In this paper, I will be discussing the research question, “Are professional athletes overpaid?” After researching the topic, I came up with the conclusion that professional athletes are not overpaid based on the amount of money that they bring into their organization. Other reasons for this conclusion include the following: professional athletes put in large amounts of time and dedication for their sport, professional sports are billion dollar businesses, society craves their entertainment, athletes are role models/ superheroes to young kids. Throughout the process of researching my topic, I read multiple sources discussing anything from the average career length of an athlete, to the average salary of an athlete based on his or her sport. I also interviewed a high school baseball coach to find a more professional view on the topic.…
Professional athletes are often rewarded extremely substantial amounts of money and lucrative endorsement deals. Many people argue that their salaries should be reduced to smaller amounts of money. Male athletes are one of the most highly paid people in the world. Athletes are some of the most talented people, but are they worth the millions that they are paid I do believe athletes don’t deserve the millions of dollars they make for what they do. I believe that all athletes are being overpaid just based off their entertainment. I have always been a huge sports fan, but athletes don’t deserve the money other people do to deserve it. Floyd Mayweather is the most paid athletes in the world, who makes an average of $80 million a year. Athletes…
Although athletes may work extremely hard, they do not deserve that high of a salary because there are people who do more for this country than just entertain. Everyone loves watching the olympics, football, or basketball, but that doesn’t mean that athletes should get paid in the tens of millions of dollars. Maybe that's why the United States is so in debt is because people care more about sports than their own well being.…
Since they devote a large amount into the sport year round, they are unable to get a job and therefore only live off the money that they could obtain from scholarships or from their parents. For example, college football games such as the USC vs UCLA match attract a large audience which means the schools are getting a lot of money from the entrance sells. Just like professional athletes, student athletes must practice and therefore deserve the same right to get paid, but if they do get paid, it takes away the purpose of becoming a professional athlete because they would not strive to become professional since they get paid from playing in college. However, many people believe that the athletes should get paid because they think it is unfair that they make spend a lot of time, but people also argue that they should not be getting paid because they are not professional…
Professional athletes all around the world are making millions of dollars each year just because they played a game. But the question that everyone asks themselves is, “Are professional athletes paid too much money?” My answer is, yes, and I have my reasons to support my opinion. They are being paid too much money because they are paid more than the people who act out more important jobs, and the millions of dollars they make could be reinvested into the community as an alternative, including the pricey game…
There’s a great deal of controversy over the topic of whether professional athletes are overpaid or not, as compared to teachers, police officers, and firefighters. Jennifer Fontaine, a sports promoter, clearly states that she believes professional athletes are not over paid, due to their careers being short lived due to any serious injury, or injuries, that could end that highly paid career.…
Do you think that athletes get paid way too much money? Athletes gets paid more then the person who controls our country. Also the franchises get payed more then the athlete and that’s why athletes get paid so much. Salary comparison, respect and prestige, and fans supporting the team is why pro athletes make so much money. One of the first reasons why athletes get paid way too much is because of all of the fans that buy things to support the teams.…
Do Professional athletes get paid too much? Yes, they do, Professional athletes get paid over 1 million dollars a year while the normal household salary is only fifty thousand dollars a year.

Athletes get paid more than the people risking their lives to keep them safe. Athletes get paid too much and the amount they make needs to change.…
