Should athletes have a high salary?
Millions of people have enjoyed watching recent world sport event. People
around the world enjoy great fun from the excellent performance of the
champions. But meanwhile, a new issue arises. Should athletes have a high
salary? From my point of view, I think they should get a good pay.
Firstly, the development of athletic level represents for the power of a
country. Athletes make great contributions to the society and earn great
glories to their country. When our national anthem is played in the stadium,
we feel very proud of our country's strength. Therefore, a high salary is a
reward to the efforts that athletes have made.
Secondly, athletes devote themselves fully to the training and exercises.
Every day, they do a lot of exercises with a view to setting new record in the
sports games. Athletes are apt to be hurt in the matches, because some
sports games are dangerous, for example, football and boxing. High pay
guarantees prompt and good medical care if they get hurt.
Thirdly, the athletic career is very short. Many athletes retire when they are
still quite young. High salary can ensure that they can have a better life after
they retire. If they want a further study, they will have no financial burdens.
However, we have also noticed that some athletes cheat the referees and
spectators in order to get money. Some of them even bribe the judges and
referees. The government must take some measures to prohibit this kind of
corruption.
To sum up, it is reasonable for athletes to get high salary because they are
worth of it.
