I think all athletes deserve what they get paid cause of all the intense work they have put in to get where they are.

But honestly soccer players deserve the most cause that's consistent movement

Im assuming you are talking about WWE, and I actually disagree. WWE is fake, and they get bodyslammed on trampolines basically.

A lot of athletes do deserve their pay, as they deticate their lives to the sport, and have been deticated to it since they were really young. Its also not easy to do what they do.

How are they body slammed on trampolines, if you seen how a wrestling ring is made, you'll see it isn't trampoline.

It's practically a trampoline.

I think that the wrestlers back in the 70s-90s deserved a high pay, but the wrestlers now, no.

WWE is all fake. Its scripted, and its choreographed so that it doesn't hurt the person.

i think it all depends on the athlete. if its a player thats working for what hes worth, i.e not taking plays off, then they deserve their money, and WWE stars deserve more 300 days a year on the road fake or not jump in the air and land flat on your back its gonna hurt, therfore if you are giving your all you deserve the money

Entertainment is a very large market and therefor the people in that business get payed a lot.

I don't necessarily agree with their salary and I think a lot of other hard working jobs deserve it a lot more.
However a lot of these sports are very physically demanding.

In the end there really isn't anything we can do about their salaries. Also a wide variety of athletes give a portion of their money to charities.

"They risk their life"

Even though they are extremely talented and gifted humans they are overpaid. You can't blame the athletes either though since they bring in massive amounts of revenue for the team they play for, sportswear companies, and a lot of other organizations/companies.

I think NBA players deserve the amount of money they are paid, especially all star players who have dedicated most of their life practicing the game...

But WWE, no.

Chilling commercial right here...

You have to think of the amount of money they are bringing in because of what they are doing.
How many tickets and how many shirts with their name on it is getting sold.

I believe they deserve a fair cut out of those profits, so I believe they are getting paid fine.

First of all, they train hard, much harder than the majority of America who are getting paid less than them. They also have to spend half of their lives putting their safety on the line for pure entertainment (even on the holidays). Also, their career could end in a split second, depending on the quick thinking of their team mates, their opposing team, and themselves. Their large salaries rarely ever go past the season they are injured. How are they supposed to support themselves without a large salary? You tell me.

Think with logic.
How many millions of people come to visit these athletes every year? Exactly. They get paid on scale, they get their share, the better they do, the more we like them, the more we pay, the more thay earn.

That's why soldiers get worse salaries, there's no millions of people paying to see them fight!
