Wouldn’t it be amazing to be paid nearly $111 million a year just because you played a game? Many athletes are being paid big bucks just like famous quarterback Andrew Luck.

There should not be a wage gap between women and men who work the same hours‚ the different ages of workers‚ and need to provide for their families. A man and women who went to school for the same amount of years‚ should be paid the same amount.

There are thousands of athletes getting paid millions of dollars for just playing a season of basketball‚ football‚ baseball‚ and etc. While nurses‚ firefighters‚ police officers‚ and the military are risking their lives for complete strangers. Some people think that these athletes deserve more than they do right now. I personally think that they don’t deserve what they are getting.

College sports has become a huge factor in sports. The problem is we don’t pay college athletes like we should. If you were to play college lacrosse you would make no money. Most college lacrosse games you bring more people then you would in a professional game. College lacrosse players should be paid because they bring a lot of sponsors and people pay to watch lacrosse games but where does all that money go? Most of the money just goes to the school.
