no because the people that pay them make more
The only country in the world who's athletes don't get paid.
Whey should pro athletes get paid less money? How about because not even our President get's paid as much as they do, and he runs the freaking country! Law enforcement officers don't get paid nearly as much as they do, and they risk there lives everyday to protect American citizens! The country is in a recession! People are going hungry and dieing because they can't afford anything! Yes pro athletes are very good at what they do and entertain the masses, but that dose not mean that they should be paid millions upon millions of dollars! Yes some pro athletes contribute to charities and other good things with there money but there are also plenty who don't! Ty Law actually got mad at being offered a contract that would pay him 7 million dollars and he demanded more money than that saying "I gotta eat!", please! I can get plenty to eat with less than 20 bucks! Mcdonalds dollar menu! Or a Burger King value meal! That's just selfish! Sorry for the rant but I digress, that is why pro athletes should be paid less money then they get paid currently.
to much
Someone who is paid to evaluate collegiate athletes on their professional potential.
This is an opinion question. You have to decide for yourself and make an argument using available data.
they get paid $14.000 a year pro rata
Average pro soccer salary
Yes. When teachers are paid 35,000 a year and an athlete gets several million for running around with a ball they get paid too much. Education is more important than sports.
as much money as they can shove in their pockets while robbing a bank
cause some athletes work hard to get the amount of money that they do.
In Germany, pro players don't get paid as much in the NBA, because there is not as much money to command from. They are paid 75% of the minimum NBA salary in beer.
No pro athletes are not overpaid
