Best Answer

Professional athletic competitions are a form of entertainment. The public likes to see really good athletes competing with each other. Therefore, they buy tickets to sporting events, and athletes are paid with part of the money raised by those ticket sales.

How can you argue that athletes earn to much?

No one can argue that athletes earn too much. Athletes are entertainers. They play a sport to entertain a crowd just like an actor performs in a play to entertain a crowd. People pay money to see both events. Both athletes and actors are paid according to their worth as ticket draws. An athlete or actor who brings a large group of people to an arena or theater makes a lot of money. People pay a lot of money to see the best. As long as people throw money at athletic events, athletes in the top tier will earn a lot of money.
