Professional athletes need a reality check on how important they really are to society. Prescott will make $680‚848 this year‚ with bonuses added to his $450‚000 base salary. Making this amount of money for simply playing a game is outrageous. The question shouldn’t be are professional athletes making enough‚ but rather: are they making too much?

Even though there are many amazing athletes not every single athlete deserves to earn ten of millions of dollars. There are very few athletes that deserve to make that much. The one athlete that makes the most money is Lebron James‚ he makes the most money in the NBA. The best athletes in the games might deserve to make that much money. Others do not. Some athletes that make a lot of money decide to spend their money wisely. Some give their money to charity‚ or travel to a different country to give

You maintain the order‚ defense the motherland‚ save people by risking yours‚ developing technology for better future etc.‚ but your income is nowhere near the person whose job is running and kicking the ball.

College Athletes College athletes generate billions of dollars for colleges every year. Despite this fact‚ they do not receive any money.
