Being an athlete comes with a very big price. Many people say collegiate student athletes have it just as hard as a normal college student. I have to disagree though. There are multiple examples that separate athletes from the regular or average student. Time constraints‚ stereotypes‚ class attendance‚ physical and emotional fatigue‚ and also the athletic sport the student is participating in‚ are just few of the many burdens athletes have on the shoulders that the common student does not.

Are Athletes Overpaid? Many people in today’s society say that athletes make too much money and they are paid just for playing a game. What people often forget is how difficult it is to make it into professional sports and that ultimately sports is a business and like any other business athletes receive a salary for a service they provide. Many people believe athletes are being paid for little work‚ but in fact they work at the same level or even a higher level as other workers do. Making it into

Project 1 Have you ever seen an athlete in a commercial? Chances are‚ the answer to that question is YES. For me‚ it seems like every time I turn on the television I see LeBron James in some Nike commercial‚ or Robert Griffin III in the latest Adidas commercial‚ or Ryan Howard smashing Subway sandwiches over the wall! Because it is some professional athlete promoting the product instead of un-famous civilians‚ does it make us as the consumers want to buy the newest Nike apparel‚ or the brand

Powell explains the problems that African American athletes face when they attend a university. Most of these athletes are recruited strictly based off of their performance on the court or the field. While this produces a winning record for the University this does not produce high performing grades in the classroom. When a coach is recruiting a player who is not a good performer in the classroom he or she runs the risk of bringing an athlete into their program who will not succeed at the university

Do you think that athletes are overpaid? Well I believe that athletes are much overpaid. People‚ such as doctors and teachers‚ are not even close to being paid as much as athletes. For example‚ teachers teach students how to read‚ write‚ and speak. All some athletes do would be throwing a ball into a hoop‚ and they make a fortune. What a waste of money! They have so much; they do not even know what to do with it. Athletes should never be paid millions of dollars. To begin with‚ people who have

student-athletes should be “paid to play” or not. Is their college education their compensation‚ and the playing time considered an internship? The NCAA rules state that only amateur athletes may play college sports. Their current definition of an amateur athlete is “one who engages in a particular sport for the educational‚ physical‚ mental‚ and social benefits derived therefrom and to whom participation in that sport is an avocation” (Lapchick and Slaughter 74). The rules for student-athletes prohibit

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. As a matter of fact‚ Kobe Bryant used to make more money making two field goals than an average person would in a year. That is ridiculous. Sports stars hardly have to work for their pay‚ and several times‚ one will make a million

Are Athletes Overpaid The average athlete can make more than the President of the United States; how is that fair? Athletes‚ like Tom Brady‚ are overpaid and make more that the average families that work till they are 70 years old. Do athletes really deserve to make that much? The answer is no‚ they do no. First‚ athletes make way over a million dollars in one year. The average income of an American family is about 54‚000 dollars a year. A nurse only makes 70‚000 dollars a year. Compare that to
