Because they risk their body for our amusement
Athletes hire agents to help them negotiate trades and salaries. The agents also take care of promotional events and items.
So that the "Brand Name" Can get public and can make there brand noticable.
is it fair for professional athletes receives such high salaries
My question is,"If you took all professional athletes in every sport and combined their salaries, not bonuses, just salaries, and averaged them out for each athlete what would it be?
The athletes are unpaid, minus the prize money they receive for winning medals. Outside of the Olympics the various athletes' professional annual salaries sum to over $9.
Higher salaries make players work harder to get even higher salaries.
Because the economy doesn't focus on mlb and how much money they make.
In the world of sports, a professional is different from an amateur because they get paid. Professional athletes receive high salaries for their skills in a type of market system. Amateurs do not get paid, or very little, and need to find sponsors to help support them.
