Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
The salaries of sports professionals are much higher than those of people in other professions. Some believe that
this
is the right approach, whereas others consider Linking Words
this
to be unjustifiable. In my opinion, there should not be a significant difference between the earnings of sports people and other professionals.
Those who support the high earnings of sports professionals claim that sports stars should earn high salaries because they are under constant pressure to perform. Linking Words
In addition
to Linking Words
this
, they are highly skilled people who bring name and fame for the country. Talented sportsmen and women can even enhance the reputation of their country by winning international championships. Yet, there is no justification for giving them astronomical salaries, especially since their contribution to improving the lives of their fellow people is negligible.

On the other hand
, there are other professions, Linking Words
such
as teaching and medicine, which are even more important than sports. The amount of money one makes should be equivalent to the value of service one provides to society. Teachers play an essential role in imparting knowledge and shaping the character and personality of children. Linking Words
Similarly
, doctors work tirelessly to save precious lives. These professionals should earn high salaries because of their valuable services. But Linking Words
this
is not the case. Linking Words
For example
, the annual salary of a teacher is less than the single match fee of cricketers in India. Linking Words
This
cannot be justified in any way.
To conclude, I believe that a vast gap in the salaries of Linking Words
sportsperson
and other professionals is neither fair nor healthy, and Suggestion
hence
the government should enact policies to narrow Linking Words
this
pay gap. The government should raise the salaries of other valuable professions and meanwhile collect higher taxes from sports professionals to ensure balance in the society.Linking Words
