Why Do Sports Players Get Paid More Than Soldiers

A CPL in the united states army only makes about $10-$13 an hour for defending our country really? I believe that a person defending our freedoms and our rights and keeping us safe should make more money than a person with a helmet defending a football. The average NFL player makes about $1.9 million per year for defending a football. On average 7.63 % out of 100,000 players sustained injuries from 2007-present. Only 8 football players have ever died from playing football. 2,356 died from 2001-present in 1 war alone.

Another argument why college athletes shouldn’t be paid is that it would be hard to control. With all that athletes playing college sports how would you know how much to pay each player. This is a simple fix. You just give every college athlete a base salary. You set the amount of money each athlete gets and no certain athlete gets anymore or any less. People could argue that this is unfair because some athletes put in more time than others and some sports produce more revenue than others. This is a valid point. If you work harder and for longer than another athlete why should you get paid the same amount as them? If this is the case pay the athletes a base salary of say $2,000 a year and however long the athlete’s sport goes for take that ratio to the year. So if you do a sport that takes up 6 months of the year, that is half a year of athletics so you get half the amount a full year of athletics would get. In this case you would end up only getting $1,000. Another strong argument is that what if the athlete plays two sports like Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston. He plays both quarterback in football and pitcher in baseball. In this case he should get just as much as everybody else who plays a sport that takes up a full year like football. He would not get any additional bonuses to the base salary. If you had a part time job that pays federal minimum wage which is $7.25

When providing a service, people get paid for the service, so why are college athletes not paid for performing a service with their athletic abilities? Almost anyone who is involved with sports, whether it be watching them or playing them, has an opinion on whether or not college athletes should be paid. My opinion on this controversy is that college athletes should be paid. College sports make billions of dollars, so there is definitely room for athletes to payed in some way. There are three main reasons as to why I believe college athletes should be paid. One is the athletes do not have enough time to hold a steady job because they are constantly practicing or playing the sport they are involved in. If they can work there are rules as to what they can make. The second reason is the colleges the athletes play for and the NCAA both make money off all of the athletes’ names and the coaches of the athletes are paid very well. The last reason is the scholarships of some athletes can be taken away if they do not meet the performance standards of the college they play for.

Not everyone in this country fights for our freedoms and protection.Soldiers are the heroes who risk and give up freedoms for their country and they are brave people who don't just care for us to be entertained.They give us protection and freedoms so that others can entertain us like athletes.The world is not just about athletes entertaining us but about the freedoms we have in this country thanks to soldiers.I believe soldiers should be paid more for all that they do for there country and people living in it.Can you imagine life without freedoms.Well thanks to soldiers we don't have to worry about it.

Pro athletes get paid because they are professional athletes. Playing is their job. Professional sports have many money problems. For example they go on strike because of money. If college players were to get paid wouldn't the athletes do things like go on strike? Athletes would want more money than they are receiving and they would be many of these types of problems. In other words they would be very greedy.

Have you ever wondered how much NFL players get paid? NFL players get paid about $140 million in 6 years. I will be talking about why I am against NFL players getting paid more than anybody else including soldiers. Professional athletes shouldn’t be paid more than people who save lives.

My opinion on this on this problem is that athletes should be paid because they work just as hard as all pro athletes. They deserve recognition for what they're doing. With the motivation to make this money they'll play harder and harder to collect their pay. You can get the most out of people if money is involved. They say money is the root of all evil but this can make money be the root success. More money being paid to them the more success they can have in their seasons.

The athletics should not get paid more cause they play with different teams in the fields.The athletic they can take a day off and soldiers can not. Athletic can get vacations like Thanksgiving, Christmas. The players get played like 4 million dollars. They do not need to get pay more than the soldiers.

If women are being payed less because the length of their matches and or games, that would mean men are being paid more because they play longer. If this is the case then baseball players would receive more money for matches that extend to extra innings and football players and hockey players would get paid extra for games that go into overtime. Then NBA players would expect to receive extra pay for playoff series that go into overtime. Receiving extra money for things like that is ludacris. Athletes are paid for winning, not for how long it takes them to win.

Should the U.S. troops be paid more than professional athletes? Professional athletes are very wealthy and have a huge amount of fame. They are very entertaining when it comes to sports. The U.S. military is very important to this country. They protect us and give us the freedom we deserve. The military is of greater importance than professional athletes. The United States military needs to be paid more than them.

Have you ever been so angry at the amounts of money that they give to the sports players compared to soldiers? Well be angry at yourself. You are the one who’s giving them the money. And I bet you’re also mad because all the money the sports players make goes into nice cars and houses. Not all of that is true. They also have big charity cases for great causes. Yes, I know. You have at least one more reason to back up that soldiers should make more money; they put their lives on the line everyday. I’ll have you know that hundreds of professional sports players have died while playing. They put their life on the line for us to have entertainment, just like the soldiers do for our safety.

A question that is discussed throughout America,will be answered today. Should a man in a helmet protecting a ball make more than a man in a helmet protecting our country? My personal opinion is that an athlete should make more than an solider. Athletes play for money. Soldiers don't. They fight for their nation and its pride and safety. Yes,they should get paid more but i said no because i don't think the government would be able to afford it. If they did then they can become greedy and lose concentration. Due to that amount of money there will be a gigantic increase in the number of people joining the army. Soldiers will fight for money rather their country. I hope i never see that day. Soldiers aren't the only ones that put their life on

Sports players should have more money than soldiers that is a very hard question to answer. The way I see it is that sports players should earn the same amount of money they make. I will give 3 reasons on why because they donate so much money to charity. If they have an injury they can lose everything. They earn their money.

Sports players on professional teams make more than soldiers. This may seem like a problem but it’s not. Sports players make more because they sell out stadiums and are paid from the money made based on how many people watch them play for entertainment. The argument i have prepared should help you view it from my perspective.

Sports players should be paid more than soldiers.Many random people can join the military but not everyone can be a professional sports player.Many soldiers can survive their injuries but sometimes sports players are hurt really worse than soldiers.Sometimes a soldier makes more and gets free stuff than a sports player in many different ways.
