    Athletes Are Overpaid

    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

    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

    Athletes‚ under the age of 21 years‚ should be eligible to be drafted into a professional sports team. Playing in a professional sport is a career and setting a limit based on age to when someone can start his or her career is absurd. “Currently‚ to be eligible for the NBA Draft‚ a player has to be at least 19-years-old or one year removed from high school.” (Jessop.2014) In the one year removed from high school‚ the athlete can choose to attend college and declare if he or she would be eligible

This article was very passionate which caused me to be compelled by the words she spoke. I loved the way to which the
