Do you think athletes deserve a large income?
In many large sports organizations (such as NBA, NHL and FIFA) athletes are being given enormous contracts. Some athletes receive salaries of almost 250,000,000 in 10 years. The real question is do you think that they deserve gigantic salaries and endorsements? The simple answer is no.
I believe that athletes do not deserve a large salary and endorsement. The reason being is that many professionals who risk their lives to save others receive a 100th of an athlete’s salary and endorsement. In contrast, a nurse in Toronto makes an average salary of $70,000 a year; the President of the United States only receives a salary of $400,000 a year, while athletes make millions of dollars in 6 months. According to Sports Illustrated magazine Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees has a contract guaranteeing him $252 million over a ten-year term.
Another supporting detail is that organizations that contribute to people in need do not have enough funds to obtain their goal. For an example 23 years ago the federal government of Canada made a commitment that by the year 2000. Now the government is reminded of their nonfulfillment through annual child poverty reports released by Campaign 2000 and their associates. Today the Campaign 2000 and their associates released the child poverty report card for 2012. This report states that 1 in 7 children are still living in poverty, and in the First Nation communities the numbers are unacceptable: 1 in 4. It also proclaims that 38 percent of food bank consumers are children. If this organization receives 1/100 of an athletes salary or endorsement the government could probably put an end to child poverty in less than 5 years.
In conclusion, the people and organizations that save lives or support people in need deserve the money given to professional athletes.
