Why do athletes make so much money?

Answer 1

Yes they get paid too much not only do they get paid for the sports they play they also get paid for their endorsements which only doubles their pay. Porfessional athletes don't even contribute to the forward progress of society. They do not save peoples lives, or help people. All they are are people with a natural talent showing off.

Some athletes do volunteer their personal time and donate to charitable causes. They also help to set good examples to our youth to play sports rather than do drugs.

This is why its very dissapointing when an athlete who is looked up to screws up some how with drugs, drunk driving, steroids etc.
