OPINION ESSAY
Professional athletes are they paid too much? ...
Still I think professional athletes are getting paid exactly what they deserve, and we’re paying them exactly what we want them to earn.
We are showing we want them to make that much money because we buy tickets to the games, we tune in to watch Fox’s game-of-the-week and watch the commercials, we read about them in the paper, we buy their jerseys. ...
I also believe in this because professional athletes spend most of their lives training for the sport they play. ...
The third reason why I think professional players are not over paid is because of the media. ... If players earned $30,000 a year like the rest of us, the only people profiting or with money would be billionaires, then most of wouldn’t get excited when we read how much players just earned signing a piece of paper, and we wouldn’t have gossip to tell our friends like, “Did you hear how much Kevin Garnnet just signed for.
