Why Are Professional Athletes Overpaid
Athletes Are Overpaid What/who are athletes really playing for? Professional athletes are getting overpaid, but no one is really stopping and thinking about it. I think that Professional athletes shouldn't get paid as much money.But on the other hand, many professional athletes may disagree and say that it’s the right amount of money and not too much. However I think that the facts that support my opinion overshadow the counter statement because there is a bundle of information that exists to support my claim. Athletes should get paid less because they have all this extra money to spend and important people around the world don’t get paid as much money, also athletes are just playing for the entertainment of others.
Athletes are left with
all this extra money. One year Tom Brady spent more than half of his money on a $40 million dollar house ( This house was built from scratch). This is important because it states that the money Tom Brady makes just goes to waste. Lebron James also buys useless items such as, multiple cars, houses, and jewelry. This also proves that athletes are becoming overpaid which leads to them buying useless items. Lastly, many athletes may earn their money from endorsement deals like Ronaldo, who gained lots of his money with companies like Nike. This states that athletes are not only overpaid for their jobs at whatever sport they play, but they also get paid ridiculous amounts of money for endorsement deals such as Nike and other name brands like Under Armour. This explains how much money athletes spend all the time and with all the things they are buying I’m surprised they still need more things.
People that are more important aren’t getting paid as much money. Nurses who dedicate their lives to the care of others didn’t make as much as a professional athlete would. This shows that people care less about healthcare and the people such as nurses who save lives and more about other things. Firefighters who pull little kids out of burning buildings didn’t make that much. What is that showing us, that we don’t support firefighters as much either? The President of the United States didn’t make as much as a professional athlete would make throughout their career. The PRESIDENT didn’t make that much and he runs the entire country! Are we favoring sports more than we should be?
Athletes are just playing for fan entertainment. People all around the world are starting to favor sports more than their own health. But athletes get injured all the time and it’s not free to get a doctor to see what may be wrong. Tom Brady is making $36 million dollars a year just playing football. An average family doesn’t even come close to the amount that Tom Brady makes. Finally, studies suggest watching television for extended periods changes the biological structure of a child's brain and lowers verbal abilities. This is the impact of what may happen to people when they sit on their couches watching their favorite sports teams on Television. So this proves that people will just waste their time watching sports.
Athletes are getting too much money.Extra money is no use just waste. Most people don’t come close to earning what athletes are getting paid. Athletes are just to be watched. Athletes are getting overpaid- Athletes should take half of their earnings and donate it to organizations that help people in need, Act Now.
