Footballers, Are They Getting Paid Too Much
Dear readers, with your current income, how many years does it take to earn 114,000? Does it take 10 or 25 or 50 years? If you answer 1 day, you must be Cristiano Ronaldo because it is the amount of money he gets DAILY. I bet everyone already knows about how big is the footballer income and moans how it unfair is the life. You maintain the order, defense the motherland, save people by risking yours, developing technology for better future etc., but your income is nowhere near the person whose job is running and kicking the ball. At first thought, you condemn and complain how the system of life sucks so much. But, let 's give it a second thought by assessing if they really worth the money.

Let 's take a vote, does the footballers really deserve it? See, the majority says not so I will begin reasoning why they really should get pay cut.

Importance in Life

Imagine the world without football and football itself never existed even from the very first place. Well no problem, there are still a lot of fun in the world. But how if there are no polices, firefighters, researchers, engineer, or doctor? Misery, misery, and misery. We can survive if there is no football game for a day, a year, or even forever. But, some will not last even an hour if all the doctors in the world commence a strike simultaneously. That explains how insignificant the profession of footballer relative to other jobs.

Yes, money is not everything. There are a lot of people with noble heart who works not for money. But come on, you would question about justice when a soldier ,who protect your country with his life, can 't afford his 10,000 child 's cure while in same time Rooney earns 100,000 for the goals he score -which does not affect human life at all-. The common sense is, the more important you are, and the more appreciation you should have. The appreciation is not all about money, but you wonder how many times we say thank you to close and small unnoticed service like the janitor. In

    "Baseball is the belly of society. Straighten out baseball and you'll straighten out the rest of the world."� Bill Lee People have a tendency to pay for things they love to see, but has it gone too far? Bill Lee thinks it has and so do many other baseball fans. There was once a time where a father could go to the ballpark with his family for $10 and see their favorite Yankee play, but now things have changed. For a family of four to go see a Major League Baseball game it will cost them anywhere from $200 to $250 to sit in tight, compact seats, while trying to watch the same man as everyone else is. People ask why professional athletes get paid too much; it's because we allow it. What we pay for, why we pay, and where our money goes are only…

Football players make millions of dollars a year and the military only make about ten thousand a year. People ought to do something about this…

Its one of the biggest questions in the sports world right now and some people think that they should be paid to play but some would disagree with that.

    Athletes with very little time on their hands are not making money off their beloved job. Over decades, there have been athletes pouring their heart and soul into their sport that they have worked for. For years, the love of the game has gotten almost each and every elite athlete to a university where they can showcase their ability and talent. However, for the Division 1 level it is more or less a business, and your job is to bring in as much profit to your university as you can. Regardless of the business, a true athlete will play the game with a desire to win in their hearts. In recent years there has been controversial question as to which every athlete is thinking.

    The United States is referred to as “The land of the free and the home of the brave” in The Star Spangled Banner. Without our armed forces to fight in battle, we would not have the freedoms to do anything that we do now, including playing sports. Many athletic players receive more money than most soldiers do. Many agree that athletes should, but I beg to differ. I think a man with a helmet defending his country should make more money than a man with a helmet defending a football.…

    Students who have experienced the college athletics process usually believe that players should be paid. Former Quarterback of the Alabama Crimson Tide, AJ McCarron as well as South Carolina’s former Defensive End, Jadeveon Clowney, believe that players should be given some money. These two players understand the amount of time and effort required to perform at a Division 1 level. However, these ideas are generated without much background knowledge and understanding of the financial requirements it would take to do so. The philosophy adopted by most people opposed to the payment of players is that we are already giving them endless amounts of money for benefits and scholarships. The ability to play in college is a privilege, and should…
