It is widely accepted that when sports professionals play a game, it is a job
(vocation) for which they have to be paid (receive remuneration). In this
essay, I will look at the lifespan, training needed, and importance of their
professions.
First, in defending their large salaries, sportsmen and women argue that the
time in which they are physically able to play is relatively short. They too
have financial needs and often have families to tend to. Therefore they have
to make (generate) as much money as possible in order to ensure a secure
future when retiring. Those against these high salaries argue that other
professionals run the same risks. A surgeon, for example, could contract
arthritis and not be able to perform complicated operations any longer.
Second, those opposed to these salaries argue that other professionals have
studied for many years at a high cost to obtain their qualifications. Sportsmen
and women, on the other hand, say (contend) that they not only have a
specific talent but also have to train for long hours and in fact have to keep
on training to stay competitive.
Lastly, it is said that the sports person’s job is not as important as those of
other professionals, like doctors, engineers, scientists, and so on. Sports
people disagree and say that they provide a necessary service to the
community when they help (assist) people relax.
After looking at the time they can play, the amount of training they have to undergo, and the service they provide to their fans (supporters), I would conclude that their salaries are justified.
