1. Professional athletes are overpaid for their job. Not including product endorsements and
television revenues, many athletes are paid far too much for what they do. 2. Professional
basketball player Lebron James is the highest paid player in the NBA. His salary alone is over $73
million. 3. Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons makes a whopping $43 million just for playing
football. 4. These men possess exceptional talent and deserve recognition; however, it is extreme
to pay athletes this excessively for "working" a few months of the year. 5. The high salaries of
professional athletes have driven the cost of tickets for these games even higher. It is out of reach
for some families to attend a basketball or football game. 6. What does this say about our society
when athletes are paid much more for entertaining and playing a sport than people who really
make a difference in our world, such as teachers?
