The Funk and Wagnall’s Standard Desk Dictionary defines a star as anyone who shines prominently in a calling or profession. Professional athletes are, without question, the best at what they do and should be paid accordingly. There are at least three reasons why professional athletes should be paid millions of dollars: they help bring higher attendance figures, increased merchandise sales, and more appearances for their respective teams on national television. .
Attendance figures are very important to any sports franchise. Owners of these franchises pay millions of dollars to construct elaborate arenas so that people attending the games can have an enjoyable, fulfilling experience. It was once said that “if you build it, they will come” but arenas
aren’t everything. Fans come from miles around to see their favorite players and they long for the moment when they can witness history in the making. There is no denying that players such Michael Jordan, Barry Bonds, and Brett Favre have transcended their respective sports and are one the reasons why arenas sellout night in and night out.
