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 own opinion.

Nowadays, public debate has been going on about whether

sports

professionals’ big salaries are justified or not. Some believe that

athletes

earn as much

money

as they bring in and as much as their

sponsors

allow the

athlete

to get from a particular brand.

On the other hand

, some disagree and feel that their input is not as impactful as some other workers that earn less, but

work

a

lot

more,

thus

famous

athletes

do not deserve it.

Firstly

,

sports

advocates and lovers state that an

athlete

's salary depends on how much public attraction sportsmen bring in. Meaning that if the

athlete

or the team that one represents attracts big crowds of people to the stadiums or other events, his pay cut will be much greater than the team that struggles to bring in the numbers.

In addition

,

sports

professionals’ salary

also

depends on how many big brand names sponsor that particular

athlete

. The greater the

athlete

you are the more brands want to be your

sponsors

. But in order to reach the peak of any sport

athletes

work

years and put in a

lot

of

work

, which after a long period of time pays off by helping the

athlete

to gain

sponsors

that usually cover a

lot

of travelling or living expenses. Even though famous

athletes

are earning a great deal of

money

by seemingly doing something not that difficult, they have been putting in the

work

beforehand in order to do their job effortlessly.

Thus

the size of their paycheck is justified.

Furthermore

, there are some who disagree with

such

idea

and believe that

sports

professionals are gaining a

more

money

than they should. People believe that simple workers that do any physical jobs like construction, driving buses or conducting traffic are as much of an

Thus

stating that the working class tend to

work

more and way harder but earn a

less.

In addition

, some say that without professional sportsmen humanity would continue living like before,

thus

their job or input into society is minor and they should not be paid more than those whose

work

is crucial for a well-working society. All in all,

sports

fans and

sponsors

are the ones paying

athletes

salaries

thus

the

money

that

sports

professional gains are a great representation of their

work

input. Though others disagree and think that the salaries of famous

athletes

are unreasonable because other workers that do physical jobs do not get paid as much even though their

work

is much more important to society.
