Writing Prompt #5

Today's top professional athletes often have salaries and bonuses in tens of millions of dollars. Do you think these athletes deserve such high compensation? Why or why not? Explain your position and examples to support your answer.


There are men that risk their lives every day. Not only that but they put their families in danger too. What thanks do we give them? Not much more than than minimum wage.

At the same time men get paid millions and millions of dollars to chase a ball around. Hmmmm...


Why are men paid so much to chase a ball around while other men risk their own life for almost minimum wage!?


Let's think about this...

Which is harder? Signing worthless pieces of paper or missing Christmas with your family? Which is harder? Never getting any privacy or never seeing your son, brother, or husband again? Which is harder? Gearing up for a game or gathering guns and ammunition for war?

Our military men do deserve more but on the other hand I do think that athletes should be paid decent salaries. They do have great talent. They work hard.

I think that military men should be paid a lot more and athletes a lot less. Both deserve a decent amount.
