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.

, they need to earn enough money to take of the damages incurred during their professional life. While I was growing up, we had a neighbour who was a footballer for the local team in Shrewsbury but sustained a back injury and was bound to a wheelchair for life.

On the other hand

, society thinks that it is unfair because every job has its own hazard, either the amount earned is equal to the athlete or the salary should be proportionate to the nature of the risk. In the medical profession, health workers are exposed daily to several infectious diseases and agents and the hazard allowances are not adequate to treat them if they were affected. These

In summary, even though the public has varying beliefs concerning the amount skilled workers should earn and I think sports personnel should earn more due to the extreme physical nature of their work.
