Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair.
Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
Unlike many years ago, sports is now a multi-billion dollar industry. Some people believe that famous sporting icons and role models such as Sachin Tendulkar , David Beckham , Micheal Schumacher earnings are rather unfair compared to other professionals whereas others believe it is justified.
It is understandable that objectors of this issue consider it as unfair. Professionals such as lawyers,doctors, engineers etc. play an important role in society. They are the creators and supporters of the society around us . Secondly , in order to contribute to the society they have to study and work hard for many hours. It is more of a mental challenge for these professionals as they can have serious impacts on our society which differs from physical work completed by sports professionals.
On the other hand, sports players do deserve to be paid handsomely. Firstly, the ability to be physically fit at all times , risks and injuries are much greater in the short career of these sport professionals. Also, constant competition to maintain their top rankings. Secondly, a winning of a prize can bring fame and honour to a team , region and country they represent which should be rewarded in some monetary form. Finally, these professionals lack element of personal life as there is constant media attention, requirement of regular travel for different competitions.
Personally, I believe that sports professionals earnings are justified considering the numerous risks and sacrifices , however it also indicates that our society places more value on sports than on our essential professions.
