Many people think that footballers are paid too much money for doing too little effort. However, this can be argued because they are people who have dedicated their entire life to this sport and therefore they should be rewarded. This leads us to the question: Do footballers deserve high salaries?
Firstly, some famous footballers are paid huge amounts of money, Cristiano Ronaldo for example is paid millions of euros every year to play for his parent club Real Madrid. Currently the highest paid footballer is Lionel Messi who earns £40 million per year not including his sponsorship money which is ridicules. This makes us feel that it is unreasonable that there are so many people dying from various basic illnesses and poor living in the world and these people are given so much money for performing an insignificant effort. It even make us feel irritated to know how these football players waste their money on irrelevant things that are of no use such as Samuel Eto'o who plays for Inter Milan in Italy. Samuel Eto'o owns about fifteen expensive cars at the moment and people may argue that the money should be used wisely. A lot of money is needed for many purposes: for example for the aid of starving people in the less economically developed countries or in the building of more hospitals for our own health and security.
My second argument is that people argue that there are other professions that contribute and provide far more for the population that footballers do and that they are poorly paid in comparison. They should be paid more. Other people even think that what they are paid would be justified if they performed better in the actual matches. Other sports stars across the world including Tiger Woods And Floyd Mayweather Jnr Earn a lot more money than your average footballer and no one seems too complain. Many people say that one goal in a ninety-minute match or a draw implies an awful quality performance.
