Pro athletes are overpaid.

Giving these athletes high wages doesn’t only distort the players, but it also bring downfall to clubs, the country’s economy, and even to the game itself. A normal, typical professional basketball player makes more money playing for only fifteen minutes of a game than a professor can make in the whole year. In addition, that player may perform badly and his only discipline is less playing time. He still receives the same amount of money despite how much he plays, while p

eople who have the “real” jobs has to perform well or else they will be fired. This spoils some athletes and makes them believe that they are special and are above the law. An example of a “spoiled” athlete is Patrick Ewing, a basketball player who is making millions of dollars per year. He once makes a very absurd comment that said, “with the money I’m making now, I can’t afford to support my family.” In addition to spoiling the athlete, high wages also cripple the football club itself. For example, the Italian football league, with millions of watchers and viewers, used to be called, “the greatest league on the planet.” However, they are suffering from giving players too much money than they deserved. Up to this date, the clubs in the league face numerous and countless amounts of debts. Many clubs have gone bankrupt and forced to be sold out. Serie A has quickly gone from thrilling and successful to boring and troubled. Moreover, the football game itself has been disturbed. The pressure to win at absolutely any cost means the absence of coaches and ways for new ones. Few coaches are allowed to stick with a club long enough to build a solid, unified team. Many coaches are forced to play a defensive style because playing an open game with risks of losing isn't as important as playing for a tie and a job security. The result is hideous and tedious football. Not only in Italy does this happen, but even to the most successful league today, the English premier league. In the summer of the year 2003, a Russian oil-tycoon, Mr. Roman Abramovich, bought an English football club, Chelsea, for one hundred million pounds. In addition, three hundred million pounds were paid on clearing debts, another one hundred-eleven million pounds for buying new players for the club and of course, outrageous wages for players. Take into consideration that the price of winning the premiership is a measly 15 million pounds, so is it worth buying a club for mil
