Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than any other important professionals. Some people think it is justified while others think it is unfair. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Athletes have been known to inspire

all across the globe, getting high monetary benefits in the process.

Whilst some

, opine that it is absolutely justified.

This

essay will discuss both perspectives

along with

suitable arguments. Sportsmen are looked up to as role models for physical fitness by the majority of

people

, which is not an easy standard to uphold. They need to undertake an 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

also

has excluded salt and sugar entirely from his diet. Now, if he is financially rewarded in the form of brand endorsements or contract fees, in my opinion, it is only a result of his hard work.

On the contrary

, many

people

believe that other important professionals like economists, police officers or firefighters should be compensated equally.

Although

, I acknowledge the fact that without the aforementioned workers, our economy and society may fall apart and play an important role, questioning the income of sportspersons is not correct. The income of every athlete or sportsman is not on the same level, the compensation they get is entirely dependent on the person and not the sport as a whole.

graduate into consideration, I am certain that not everyone will be drawing big paychecks.

Therefore

, we can not include everyone under the same blanket. 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 .
