you are an idiot, professionals get paid according to which club they play for and which sponsorships they have, they are never paid a set amount, the amount you get paid is dependant on how good you are, Wayne Rooney is paid £250,000 a week just from Manchester United, other payments from sponsorships he receives brings his weekly total to around £400-500,000 a week. Other "soccer" (if you're American) or football players receive less than £50 per week, dependant on their abilities, all sports conform to this way of payment
it depends on the soccer team, player, position, and how good or bad the team is.
Some of the highest paid athletes in Baseball and footballa are Alex Rodriguez and Peyton Manning in baseball and football, respectively. Rodriguez makes over $29 million per year, while Manning makes over $17 million per year. Many semi professional or minor league athletes make just under fifty thousand dollars, however, and is not a stable career. Professional athletes have unstable jobs at the minor league level.
It depends on the sport and caliber of athlete. Minimum starting salaries are hundreds of thousands of dollars, but often depend on being on the "active" roster. Some contracts are often incentive-laden based on performance. The best atheletes secure mega-million dollar contracts, where a good percentage of that money is guaranteed. The average salary as of 2011 for athletes in the 4 major US sports is as follows:
(in millions)
NBA: $5.15
NFL: $1.9
NHL: $2.4
MLB: $3.31
Well it depends what sport you are talking about. Most professional sports players get paid between 1million and 2millions dollars per year.
Because they won't try as hard.
athletic players
they get paid as much as the players win the game.
Not as much as NBA players
In comparison to American football players and soccer players they certainly are not over paid but for the top players its considered that they may be under paid
They are paid about 2,000,000
Okay so it does depend on what sports you play. I understand Hockey Players, Soccer Players, Football Players. But I've never understood why baseball players are paid just as much, baseball players don't have to go through the same training as any other sport would. But that's is my estimation. Tell me what you think.
America loves football more than any other sport, besides they don't get paid as much.
netball
Becuase NCAA is a college team and people who play sports for college don't get paid.
Yes soccer players are paid very highly, it has gone over the roof .
