    Mihir Bhagat on the website Bleacher Report. The author believes that athletes are getting paid way too much money for their role in society; to play games for people’s entertainment. Salaries and wages are traditionally based on the value of one’s work but this rule does not necessarily follow in reference to high league athletes. In a day where one should be paid according to that person’s job’s economic importance‚ athletes simply are not. An example used in the article is the difference in salary
