There are thousands of sports players. Some are professional, others are not. Proffesional athletes are paid too much! First of all, it's just a wasit of money. They are paid millions of dollars allthe for a silly game, even if they loose or hardly score any points. Also, tons of people around the world are good athletes and are sportive. Majority of them are not known, and do not get paid for being athletic. Why should only the famous foot ball players and soccer players be rich? Another thing is how other people work harder and yet they get paid less. Teachers, police, the president, ect. do harder work, tougher jobs and don't get recognized or paid as much. Just because they are on tv doesn't meanthey should be paid more than the rest of america.
