Athletes are not overpaid because it’s not every day
they have a game. Every athlete should have a job during off seasons, but a job
is hard to find and most athletes have to train hard and they’ll have to make
it to the professional level just to make money. But what is considered
overpaid? USA’s current president which is Barrack Obama is paid $400,000 over
the year along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable
travel account and a $19,000$ for entertainment. The top 400 NBA most paid salaries
players have higher salaries than the president of USA’s which control a
country. Even if some athletes are overpaid, at least they donate a huge amount
of money from their earnings to the poor or to the children that doesn’t have a
parent or kids that needs medical payments.
An athlete also has a lot of responsibility like
holding a good profile for their career and their career is not long as the
other careers, because if they get injured they will lose everything, but
beside all those they have a talent that is different than others.
Athlete gets paid from the industry and the people who
buy tickets to watch the game. Athletes also have a risky job, in every game
they are anticipating can cause them injuries, injuries that maybe can never heal
and which can lose their job as an athlete. If athlete is paid lower than
actually they are being right now, it might cause the whole athlete system to
go down.
They deserve their salaries for entertaining a lot of
people. We are lucky to even just watch a game from our television and computer
without even paying. They bring joy to our life for at least for most of us.
They bring inspiration to kids. I’m sure our generation will be even better as
long we are keep working with them!
