COMPARED TO PEOPLE IN OTHER JOBS,

SPORTSPEOPLE ARE PAID TOO MUCH FOR WHAT THEY DO.

DO YOU AGREE?

The topic of sportspeople’s earnings often causes a great deal

of discussion, especially in the media. Many people have strong
feelings on the subject, and so do I.

First of all, it is true that playing sport for a living is not

essential to society. Nurses do an essential job but they earn very
little compared to many sportspeople. Also, a football player, for
example, will only be playing for a few hours a day, while a nurse
could work for at least twelve hours a day.

On the other hand, a sportsperson career does not last long,

so the high salary is only for a limited period of time. Furthermore,
injury can cut shot a career. Therefore, it is reasonable that
sportspeople receive substantial earnings.

In addition, sport has a central place in modern society, giving

pleasure to many people. The fact that it is such a popular form of
entertainment means that high salaries can perhaps be justified.

To sum up, sportspeople are highly paid, but they often

deserve the money. The real issue is that people in more important
jobs are paid too little.
