Sportsmen are looked up as role models for physical fitness by the majority of people, which is not an easy standard to uphold. They need to undertake intensive training regime accompanied by an even stricter diet in order to ensure their ability to perform at the time required.
For example
, Virat Kohli, who is the captain of the Indian cricket team, is known to exercise for at least 4 hours daily and Linking Words

has excluded salt and sugar entirely from his diet. Now, if he is financially rewarded in the form of brand endorsements or contract fee, in my opinion, it is only Linking Words

Although
, I acknowledge the fact that without the aforementioned workers, our economy and society may fall apart and they play an important role, questioning the income of sportspersons is not correct. The income of every athlete or sportsmen is not on the same level, the compensation they get is entirely dependent on the person and not the sport as a whole. Linking Words
For instance
, while Ronaldo Messi is amongst the highest paid persons in the entire world, other footballers who play regionally are hardly able to make the ends meet. Linking Words
Similarly

Conclusion
In conclusion, I strongly believe that if a sportsman is able to make a great deal of money, it is only because of his own hard work, dedication and ability. Nobody else should be authorized to judge or evaluate the fairness in the matter, irrespective of the field that person may belong to.
