The definition of a professional athlete can be broken down into two separate words. The American Heritage Dictionary states the definition of a professional as “of or engaged in a profession; engaging in a given activity as a source of livelihood.” It also says an athlete is “one who participates especially in competitive sports.” There is no doubt that a professional athlete would fit that description, but there is one key word that is significant: competitive. ... ” There are a number of athletes in professional sports such as the NBA, MLB, or NFL who truly loves the game and competes every day to the best of their ability. ... Personally, I do not consider those types of players to be professional athletes. ... I believe greed is what has corrupted professional athlete’s mind. ...
On the other hand is it really the athlete’s fault for making so much money? ... If each player only made a couple hundred thousand dollars, everything else would be cheaper such as ticket sales, sports clothing, memorabilia, and other items involved with professional sports.
