Why Are Pro Athletes Overpaid

There are two sides on the issue are pro athletes overpaid. Many people agree with the statement that pro athletes overpaid but some think they're not getting paid enough. It goes many different ways.

One of the main reasons people think athletes are overpaid is because they get paid $25,000 a game so they can make the average Us salary in two games. But what it doesn't show to the public are the hours of waiting in airports and weight training all day to prepare for the game. People also don’t know the danger of playing baseball because the players have a huge risk of being hit either from a pitch coming at them 150mph off of a baseball bat at them or having a guy that's 6”6 250lbs running at you full speed on a football field.

Some

reasons why pro athletes are not overpaid is because they risk serious injury.
They are also huge role models to kids everywhere. Athletes that play football risk getting a concussion and getting brain damage. Pro baseball players have 150 games a year at minimum so that's 75 traveling games where there waiting in airports. Those are the risks athletes take when playing the game.

Some reasons pro athletes are overpaid is because they only entertain people.
That money could go to other things like doctors to learn new medical treatment. Or soldiers who risk their lives day by day. We could invest money in the military so it becomes safer and more efficient. Plus some just sit on a bench and do nothing why are second string players getting paid so much too just sit there and watch.

Those are the things I came up with too the two sided debate, I personally believe they are getting paid just the right amount.
