Whether we admit it or not‚ we all do it. We judge people on what they are wearing and put them in groups with people who are dressed similar. This started way back‚ even before our parents were in school‚ and now we have carried it down to our schools. A football player walks by; he is classified as a “jock”.

Athletes make too much money. Athletes hardly have to work for their money‚ and their pay is insanely high. However‚ they do put a lot of strain on their bodies. Athletes should be paid much less than what they are currently paid. Athletes hardly work for their money.

“Professional athletes are extremely overpaid for the jobs they do.” The issue of overpaid pro athletes has been around for numerous years. The fact that a man that plays football and plays on a regular basis‚ plays for about 15-16 weeks. That man gets paid over a million dollars at least! I mean if you think about the fact that these players get paid more than the president in most situations‚ It seems hugely absurd! To think that that man plays for such a small amount of time and gets paid so

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 go to Chapel Hill and try to go to a Carolina-Duke game‚ good luck trying to find a ticket. It’s nationally televised. There’s so much money that goes behind just one basketball game.
