Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal of money than people in other professions. Some people think this is fully justified while other think it is unfair. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Nowadays, as national

sports

competitions are more and more popular, the wages of professional

athletes

become higher. Some claim that they do not deserve to earn as much money as other professions, while others think that

this

is fair enough. In the following essays, I will show both sides of

this

situation and conclude by explaining my own view. It is often argued that

sports

professionals get too much paid beyond their actual distribution. To start with,

athletes

do not have as much contribution to society as other occupations,

such

as doctors, teachers, and

also

lawyers. The reason is that they only need to play hard in competitions and take responsibility for themselves and their

sports

teams.

In addition

, they don’t actually help citizens or provide useful products or services to improve people’s lives. Whether they win a big game or not, their countries and inhabitants will not benefit from

this

.

On the other hand

, some deem that

athletes

actually deserve to earn more money than other kinds of important jobs and I would certainly go along with

this

idea.

To begin

with,

sports

players need lots of training and effort to become professionals.

Thus

, they invest plenty of time and money to achieve their goal.

Therefore

, the wages they get represent their hard work and

also

their reputations, earned from their fans.

Moreover

,

sports

stars help their country to get known by other worldwide nations and to increase its soft power.

For example

, Taiwan is not a well-known country.

However

, a famous badminton player, called Tai Tzu-Ying, who has won a lot of international badminton contests, helps Taiwan to get a chance to show its face to the world. In conclusion, it is undeniable that there are other professionals who contribute to society and residents a lot, but

athletes

also

play a big role and people cannot neglect their effort and dedication.
