The Big Bucks

One thing that has been bothering me a lot is how much people criticize athletes for getting payed a lot. I mean, they could get injured and never play again,so let them enjoy it while it last. Anyone can be a doctor, a lawyer, but to be an athlete, you need to be special. Michael Jordan didn't just wake up with basket-ball skill but he was physically gifted. I do think that some athletes like Albert Haynesworth, and Nnmadi Asomugha get paid too much. I think the more the athlete gets paid, the less effort they put. I still think that they should get paid more than doctors and lawyers. The funny things is that most of the people that disagree are people that suck in sports; they get frustrated. For example, a guy has been working hard all his life since high school and he gets payed minimum wage. While his classmate, who was a jock and did poor in school, gets paid forty million dollars a year. So, the only reason that people don't like how much athletes get paid is because that guy who sat next to you in high school and failed every test, is getting paid millions of dollars!
