Whats your take on the salary on the atheletes that are pro? I mean some make way too much in my opinion and I wish they would give back to the communities, I know some do, But do you feel they are overpaid for their job?

I think that they are way too overpaid for what they do. But, that is the way it is. And, they do what they wish with their money, as any of us do.

Not compared to the profits the sports clubs are making, if they didn't pay the players well they would just be making moore and after all it is the player who are going out there getting hurt and whatever and the fact they have a very short working life in that field they should be paid a bit...

They are grossly overpaid. I feel there are occupations that deserve to be paid more than they do. I know they are considered celebs but come on.

That is true but what i feel is those pro athelets have also put up the maximum work in form of practice for years and only then, they are able to reach at this level. so, partly their payment is justified also.

I think that they are highly over paid. There are people in professions that put their lives on the line for people they don't know, there are people that keep the community safe, people that cure people, or find cures. These are the people that I feel need to be compensated for their jobs.
