    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?

    lifesavers are paid almost 60 times less than some of the lowest paid footballers in the Premier League? It was in 1885 when the professional footballer was born.
