Player Shirking: A Case Study

Sports stars aren’t getting paid enough each year to play sports because people who don't play are get paid a lot , the best players on each team should be paid the most, and MVP winners should be the most paid on their team. This topic is important because it need to tell the teams that the best players should be paid the most. A solution to this problem is to pay the best players the most. The best should be paid the

Many fans throughout the U.S. blame the high priced contracts on the athletes, but they are not the source of the problem. In a sense, the athletes are just getting their piece of the pie. What the athletes make

To rebuild damaged reputation players will quite often take less paying contracts from top performing teams. Such players will always work towards switching teams when lured with better packages. This will lead to higher attrition rate. This will also damage loyalty of players for teams and teams will face hard time retaining top performers.

1.The athlete isn’t technically making money off their playing ability they’re making the money from the name on the back of their jersey.

Athletes want to be associated with agents who are reliable. Rosa states, "Athletes and entertainers face intense pressure and temptation, but many do not receive the education and counsel they need in order to plan for a secure financial future," (as cited in Levaux, 2015, p. 1). Sports are just a part of what athletes have to deal with, there’s also public relations. Any professional athlete has their own platform so when it comes to media relations, it would benefit them to have communication skills. A lot of athletes sign their first contracts when they’re still young so they have little experience dealing with media or huge amounts of money. That’s where agents come in and help them with managing money, and keeping them away from bad endeavors. The Sports Agent Responsibility and Trust Act ("SPARTA") aimed to deter sports agents from engaging in certain overreaching activities and to prevent the unknowing violation of NCAA regulations by universities and athletes (Willenbacher,

Supply and demand is a very simple economic principle, one that very much plays in the favor of college athletes. The demand for high school aged athletes (some not attending school), is astoundingly high. Top recruits may be approached by dozens of college coaches, several agents, and potentially even a professional league. Not only do teams want their name across a player 's chest, fans want nothing more than to see their favorite team’s jersey donned by the best players. In 2006, fans spent an astounding $4.2 billion dollars on college basketball. Between coaches, agents, and fans, the number of people trying to get to an “amateur” athlete is seemingly infinite.

If they are already getting paid, then I don't think they will want it more, i think they would want it less. For example, if a college basketball star from Duke University isn't getting paid but is getting looked at by New Orlean’s Pelican team from the NBA, then he will play his hardest to get on that team and get paid money and be famous. If he is already getting paid, his work ethic will go down and he will be satisfied and have an average game every game, and so that factor changes

According to Tom Van Riper he states “ A top notch football or basketball recruit isn’t just getting the competitive experience he needs for launching a pro career. He's gaining exposure that's bound to pay off in endorsements and a nice contract the moment he turns pro.”(text, line 25). Now a days football or basketball recruits are not just gaining experience but will get them a nice contract when they turn pro. This is also means if they perform well in college sports, they will end having a pretty good contract. “ Most

Whether it be baseball, football, soccer, or basketball, sports are appreciated not only in America, but all over the world. One of these sports that is particularly popular in America is Football. The immense crowds of people who sit at a stadium or on the couch to watch a game never fail to recognize every single play on the field; however, many fans pay little to no attention to one of the most important components of the game, the player-association relationship. When signing a contract with an NFL team an NFL player is effectively dedicating his life to his new organization. His duty is to play for his team in order to make the organization money, and money they make. In the NFL last year “each team received $226.4 million” (Brady 1).

Career achievements need to be based on professional conduct and milestones covered. However, the big sports associations such as Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Football League (NFL) and the National Basketball Association (NBA) tend to factor in other principles as well (Withers 147). For these leagues, certain behaviors off the field are keen indicators that determine how a player is viewed. With such efforts, these leagues aim to maintain a standard that professional athletes can use to guide their lives. However, there are questions that linger regarding the forms of conduct that are deemed to be unworthy of these athletes. The question is also posed to the wider society since these professionals are a part of it (Schrotenboer

The passages present a discussion about arguments concerning whether or not professional athletes are overpaid. This is an important debate since professional sports represents a multi-billion-dollar-per-year industry. The two positions argue whether or not professional athletes should be paid the large yearly salaries they are paid. Both viewpoints have valid claims warranting consideration. For example, evidence suggests that people with far more important jobs are paid much less than professional athletes; in contrast, opposing evidence suggests that since professional athletes generally have short careers and must train very hard to build and maintain their skills, the higher salary is justified. While both sides of the issue have valid points, the viewpoint that professional athletes are not overpaid is the best-supported position, the position supported by the preponderance of the evidence cited in the passages. The strongest and best reasons supporting this position are that professional athletes must endure grueling and intensive training, they generally have short careers that often end in injury, and the amount that they are thought to be paid is often inflated. Accordingly, these reasons and opposing viewpoints will be discussed next.

Cleopatra VII was one of the most popular and famous queens ever to rule Egypt. However, modern civilization remembers her so much differently than the clear depiction of reality. Shakespeare reimagined her romance with Mark Antony as a dramatic tragedy. Indeed it was, although that is all Cleopatra VII’s memory has come down to: an old play and several false films and novels. Society does not even remember her as the seventh Cleopatra in her family, just Cleopatra. But, if one dug under the surface, they would find her life was much more interesting than just some romantic yarn.

The article proposes that psychosocial treatments in conjunction with pharmacotherapy offer those suffering from Schizophrenia better functional recovery and reduced relapse rates than treatment plans exclusively involving medication. Benefits of psychosocial treatments, as the article suggests, are the addressing of issues outside of the condition’s symptoms. Based on recent research in the fields of psychosocial interventions, these types of treatments help to mitigate issues such as damage to social and work relationships; increased risk of substance abuse, aggression, and self-harm; depression and demoralization; and experiences with psychosis.

Many people have read horror stories to grasp the fulfilling entertainment it provides through a series of goosebumps and apprehensive moments.

This is a must watch Broadway show that makes your fine, terrible, or even boring day, an absolute blast. The Play That Goes Wrong has finally made its way to America and right at the heart of New York City near Times Square at the Lyceum Theatre. Therefore, the experience is a win-win situation for the audience. The Lyceum Theatre’s architecture is astonishing as it is filled with ornaments, I also realized the letter ‘L’ around the theater, but the most interesting fact is that it is a landmark. It has a proscenium stage while the audience is in the orchestra, balcony, or the mezzanine seats, like where I sat, and there is barely any space if you are a tall person. My seat was near the far end of mezzanine, I couldn’t see a part of the left side of the stage, so I found myself bending sideways to see what was going on, but I saw nothing. I found the side stage lights and a side balcony blocking my view and yet I had a great time.
