Athletes Are Overpaid
Do you think athletes deserve the amount of money they make ? I do not think athletes are overpaid. Athletes are not overpaid because they dedicate their lives to their sport, have short careers and have chronic health problems. To begin with, athletes dedicate their lives to their sport. According to Mackenzie Carro “Athletes like LeBron James dedicate their lives to their sport- to training to traveling and pushing themselves to the limit.” This shows how dedicated athletes are to their sport. Also according to Mackenzie Carro “ The toll of a professional athlete's career takes on his or her body means more than a lifetime of pain and medical bills ; it also means a short career.” This shows that athletes need a lot of money because they
have short careers. Next, I understand how some people think athletes are overpaid . But athletes have short careers so they have to make a lot. According to Mackenzie Carro “Athletes need salaries that will carry them past the five to fifteen years they are able to play.” This shows that athletes need a lot of money because they have short careers. Finally, athletes have chronic health problems. According to Mackenzie Carro “In fact, many retired athletes have chronic health problems because of the strain they put on their bodies.” This is one of the sacrifices that athletes make to earn the amount of money that do. Also according to Mackenzie Carro “ And while this may seem glamorous, think about this: Like gladiators charging into the arena, athletes face injuries that can be not only career ending but also life altering.” This is another piece of evidence that shows athletes have chronic health problems.
Athletes dedicate their lives to their sport, have short careers, and have chronic health problems. These are the reasons why I think athletes are not overpaid. If you thought athletes were overpaid, what do you think now?
