Do Professional Athletes Earn Too Much Money?

Recommended Posts

Do you think the salaries of professional athletes are too high? Some argue that the market decides their value and that they entertain millions, but others feel the pay is excessive compared to essential workers like teachers or doctors. What are your thoughts? Does the high income reflect the risks and skills required, or is it disproportionate?

I think for the most part they’re overpaid. And when they decide to build a new stadium/arena “just because” that really pisses me off. For example, the Wings used to play at the Joe. But for no apparent reason, they decided to move and built Little Caesars arena. The Joe got torn down. Legends played there, but suddenly it wasn’t good enough.

With that kind of money, there’s a lot better things they could put it to.

I agree with moving stadiums thing for the most part but sometimes these things can happen for a number of reasons. One is trying to expand the stadium but the government in that region denies permission to expand or renovate said stadium. It's something I've seen happen in soccer quite a bit.

They work their ass off to stay in good condition. So, the talk of earning too much money shouldn't come in at all as that is not how I try to look at everything. They deserve whatever they are getting at the moment. 

So do men and women who work out every day and play on local sport leagues, but they’re not paid millions for it.
