Overpaid professional athletes The topic I chose for my essay is overpaid professional athletes. I chose this topic because I think athletes are getting paid way too much money. Athletes get paid way too much for what they contribute to society. They contribute very little compared to other careers that give so much to society but make very little salaries.

With College Comes Great Responsibility College athletes should be compensated for the benefit of the student. College athletes get and put in a lot of effort and get no reward for all of their hard work and dedication. We should choose the fair market rather than the black market.

I visited the B. Deemer Gallery where I was able to identify art by Carolyn Young Hisel‚ namely‚ Community. The artwork is presented as mixed media on paper‚ where the artist attempts to communicate the idea of an ideal community‚ which is lacking in the contemporary world.

Are Professional Athletes paid too much? Healthcare workers save lives on a daily basis for sixty thousand dollars a year‚ while professional athletes receive millions of dollars merely to entertain. Athletes should be paid well because they must train harder physically than other people‚ they must work even when they are not working‚ and their chosen profession sometimes entails great physical risks.

He describes it as one part of the "three-legged stool" which lies behind Nike’s phenomenal growth since the early 1980s‚ with the other two being product design and advertising.
