A salary would therefore be utilized to steer the athlete back onto the

telling them that they could be an athlete? So this is my question to you: should kids strive to become an athlete or should they focus on other things? Who should kids idolize: a snobby‚ rich‚ selfish‚ athlete or a noble peace award winner? In my opinion sports should not be pursued by most kids because it could hurt them in the long run.

College Athletes Shouldn’t be Paid! I strongly believe that college athletes shouldn’t be paid because they’re still amateurs at the sport. They aren’t professionals at the sport.

If you compare college amateurs to professionals there will be a big difference and observe why they get paid it will make a lot of sense. According to the text it says “A gentleman never competes
