Some people think that professional sports players earn too much salary, especially when they do not seem to help peopleand societies the way people of other occupations such as doctors, teachers, and soldiers do. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

It can be argued that professional athletes and sports
players
 earn a lot of money without really helping either society or individuals in comparison with
people
 who work in other majors that include an obvious help to society like doctors and nurses. In my point of view, I definitely agree with
this
 statement because other occupations have more right to earn that money. The purpose of
this
 essay is to discuss why I am inclined to
this
 opinion and my reasons for it.
To begin
, there is no doubt that professional sports
players
 have an important role in our society but it does not mean that they should earn more than most other occupations. One of the key reasons why the government should pay more to
people
 who are working in majors
such
 as teachers is because they work in very tiring jobs,
whereas
 athletes spend their time playing and practising their hobbies.
In addition
, doctors face numerous difficulties during their day from the patients to the hours they spend in hospitals. A good example of
this
 is provided recently in the pandemic when Coronavirus patients were increasing and doctors were having a hard to control that increase by curing as many patients as they could.
On the other hand
, athletes can entertain
people
 and excite them only. Meanwhile, construction workers are working under very bad conditions without being paid half of these
players
' salaries.
Furthermore
, being underpaid can result in
people
 acquit of many necessary jobs.
To conclude
, I would like to reiterate my opinion that sports
players
 should have the same amount of money as other occupations or less.
