Why do most people here think pro athletes are overpaid?
-While yes they do get paid more than the average working man their careers are shorter and a lot more dangerous.
-The sport industry generate billions of dollars, and athletes are the grunt workers that make the industry tick and if you take a step back and look the athletes are only getting a small fraction of the overall earnings.
-It's also a very selective position. Less than 1% of all highschool athletes will every make money playing the sport.
So yes, In my opinion athletes deserve more money than doctors. Supply and Demand.
Are you one of the people who don't understand basic economics?
-
-Who cares if their careers are dangerous? They don't do anything productive when they put themselves in danger. Firefighters, troops, and police officers have dangerous careers too, but they actually help the world. -The healthcare industry generates billions of dollars, and the doctors are the grunt workers that make the industry tick. I don't see them making multiple millions per year. - So? Who cares? I understand supply and demand and why they make more money, but that doesn't mean they [i]deserve[/i] it.
