Currently, professional sports’ salaries have been reaching astronomical figures. In comparison to other professional jobs, they earn exorbitant amount of money and they have full advantage of their experience. Apart from their experience, their incomes depend on team supporters’ sophistication. For example, baseball players gain the highest range of annual salary in the USA. There are several opinions which support their incomes despite some negative effects.

The first point is the work life expectancy. In fact, the athletic activities require ready and prepared bodies which could be found in youth. Therefore, team would demand athletics till they are young. For instance, a footballer could not be employed after 35 years old. In addition, there are not rare players who are disables, because of their play.

The next issue is team advantage. A team can attract more devoted fans if team manager employs more expert players and subsequently more income for team.

However, the exorbitant salaries result in negative effects. The professional players often care their bodies not to injure instead team. Moreover, they sometimes spend money to not important materials which impact young generation.

To sum up, annual salaries of sports are recommended controlling. In fact, if it is recognised as a job, it has to have retirement salary. Therefore, the sport should not be a business or advantage of distinction. However, athletes need some benefit to play comfortably.

In my opinion, I think is fully justified the fact that successful sport earn a great deal more money than people in other profession.
In fact sport business is a huge machine of make money. The business explores massive activities linked with sport and possible to generate money, such as advertisement, publicity, games, sport school and etc.

As any other business, sport team like Man. United for example, invest a mammoth amount of money in buying, formation and modelling the athletics, although some of them are already talented at birth. These are highly prepared, psycho and physically in order to become successful. The team’s coach and manger expect from players performance over the average, to ensure the success of the team which subsequently reflects in the conquest of the supporters. These are one the main key to team’s financial booming because, they spend lots of money by paying quotas, buying tickets and sport equipment linked to the team.

If we take a look to famous athletics like Ronaldo or Wayne Rooney, as successful players they are constantly at risk, while playing, of contracting injuries, breaking legs and having a heart-attack. In addiction they get reformed early compared to people in other profession, due to the fact that they are highly sucked and squeezed in order to give their best and rarely go over age 35 exerting the profession. So in a short time of work, as soon as they get the period of best performance, they ought to take advantages of that by sealing the best contract ever. On the other hand qualified people, who work in other profession, have to submit to a pre-established payment table in the business linked with their categories, that is the rule. However the salary to be paid can be discussed and the employee be highly paid but, is not something comparable to a successful athletic.

To summarize I would say, sport athletics are the main pillar to the success of the teams. They are always under pressure, in the exercise of their profession, they have to deal with and make all effort to win the opponent. The success brings money to the team. Therefore is entirely understandable that a well succeed athletics be highly paid because, they work for a business which make run thousands and thousands of money and they deserve part of that.

Nowadays, it is true that sports professional are earned exorbitant amount of money comparison with other people who work in other important professions. Some believe that this is fair for them to get a well paid than the other professions. However, others believe that it is not justified completely. These two points of view will be discussed in this order.

It is believe that if an athlete wants to become a top sport player who should deal with great physical dangers such as bone breaking. For instance, a research show that a highly trained gymnastics who is a hard worker will be sited in the wheelchairs for her rest life, because a serious injury of bone broken on her performance as an asymmetrical mistake. This can be obviously seen that more money must be paid to someone who takes responsibilities of high risks to reach the goals. Thus, it is clear why some people gravitate towards this point of view.

Despite, many people argue that people who work in other important professions have been paid less than sports. For example, other important profession such as doctors and lawyers have gained a qualification through hard studying aim for targets. Therefore, they could be expected to performance well in order to achieve the achievements. After analyzing these facts, there is no doubt that some people support this claim.

It seems unfair in some cases that sport professions are well paid. However, highly trained athletes professional couldn’t only have work hard and skills, but also have to take the burden of physical diseases on the mistake of performances. Therefore, as been proven these two points of view, I strongly believe that it is fully justified for successful athletes to earn higher.

It is true that professional sport, nowdays, people get paid more than others highly skilled people. One of the main reasons for this contrasting different in salaries is where the wages come from. In my view, people whom dedicated and have been qualifier to carry high level of duties should get a reasonable salary.

The most important reason why professionals sport people such as footballers, tennis players and golfers earn a large amount of money is due to their sponsorship. Moreover, other varieties events such as TV talk shows and advertisements are their other source of revenues. These successful sports professionals work really hard to get to the salary, as they have to make a lot of sacrifices and also have to give their best to be notice in this competitive sport field.

Whereas, highly skilled people like doctors, politicians, lecturers who are only qualified for one particular job, get only one source of income is contrast to sports people. They sometime struggle to make ends meet as their salary is not enough to covers their expansive. A of the main reason why they cannot earn extra revenue is because they work long shifts, and as we all know their functions do not take them to the public’s eye, which means they cannot do TV shows or advertisement to boost their revenues.

In my opinion, highly qualified people should be paid a large wage for the service they provide to the society, as they dedicate and always try to do their very best for us. On the other the other hand, we as a society need professional athletes to entertaining us because without them life will have being too boring. Therefore, they deceive the amounts they are paid because they work every penny of it.

News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what in newspapres.What factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we become used to bad news? Would it be better if good news was reported?
Nowadays,all types of media need to control these news which is written especially in newspapers and presents on televisions.
There are many factors are related to make the decision. Firstly, might be broadcasted a lot of untrust news especially about some famous people.Furthermore, a large number of journalists and reportes spend more time for looking after these popular citizens to gain a bad charactor or behavior then it is printed in newspapers.
secondly, an opposition parts have in many countries,so they would encourage residents through media against some goverment's laws or decisions.For instance; when prime minister was detected by UK's recidents and many laws were changedby that part.From nearly all UK's televisions and in a significant numbers of newspapers, magazines and so on, opposition part wanted to tell people they were better than the part who succeesed.
Also sometimes just bad points are revealed without explain advantages or disadvantages of these decision.Another point, more news was described whith added or removed som points it could be it was another factor to make the decision.Unfortunately , large numbers of staffs used types of media by a bad way more than a good one.
IN conclusion, in my view, quality control should have over all informations which will be reported either on television or in newspapers in order to avoid utilize these types of media by a bad way.

It is incorrect for our society to place such an emphasis on sports. Today students do not believe that they have to achieve as much academically because of the allure of sports money. Do we really just want our students to just get by with a 2.5 GPA and wonderful athletic prowess? What does that mean for the future? Are we going to be throwing footballs and hitting tennis balls instead of managing companies and inventing new products? As I mentioned, sports has its place in society. However, sports should not be greater than other academic pursuits.

Nowadays successful sports professionals receive a high wage comparing to other important professions. This has created different opinions among the people.

Some people hold the view that even though they have a successful carrier it is completely unfair that they earned this fortune. This point of view may be justified given the fact that, firstly, more attention should be focused on area such as medicine, education, etc… Which is essential for the welfare of society. Secondly, sports professionals don’t need to have special skills like other professions.
On the other hand other people believe that their salary is fully justified, not only because they don’t have a retirement salary, but because they also have a short period of performance.
In my opinion their remuneration is well earned. I used to be against their salary until I emigrate and realize how hard the adaption can be sometimes, but because we want a better future we opt to go to another place or country, and this happen with many sports professional. To succeed they often change clubs which might mean a new country, new language and new people. Other particular reason that made me be in favour with this is the fact that they have to work really hard to prosper to a professional high level

To sum up, sports carrier is equal to others in term of working hard to be successful. As we know the main keys to succeed are the effort, persistence and belief.
Therefore we should not think that the money they earn is unfair, because they work hard to get it. So we should look at this as an encouragement and give our best to be as successful as they are.
