Professional Athletes Do Not Deserve Their Pay

IN TODAY’S SOCIETY, ONE WILL BE PAID MORE IF THEIR JOB IS MORE ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT. HOWEVER, PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES DO NOT PLAY NEAR AS VITAL ROLE IN THE ECONOMY AS TEACHERS OR EVEN THE PRESIDENT, BUT THEIR SALARIES REFLECT OTHERWISE. AND WITH THE AVERAGE SALARY OF NBA PLAYERS AT $2.4 MILLION A YEAR, AND SOME PLAYERS WITH CONTRACTS WELL OVER $100 MILLION, IT IS HARD TO SEE WHAT MANY OF THEM ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. ONE MIGHT THINK THAT THESE ATHLETES DO IT ALL FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME AND NOT THE MONEY. BUT IF THIS WERE THE COMPLETE TRUTH, THEN WHY IS IT THAT EVERY YEAR THERE ARE STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS BECAUSE THE ATHLETES THINK THEY ARE NOT GETTING PAID ENOUGH MONEY? IT SEEMS THAT ONCE THEY HAVE GOTTEN A SMALL WHIFF OF THE RICHES THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET MORE, EVEN IF IT MEANS GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE TO PLAY. SO, SPORT FANS, NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE OUR FINGERS OUT OF THE NACHO CHEESE JAR AND REVOLT. THE BEST WAY TO LOWER THESE ATHLETE’S INCOME IS TO PUT A LEGAL CAP ON HOW MUCH A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE CAN MAKE. I CHALLENGE YOU TO READ THIS PETITION AND THINK ABOUT IT. THINK ABOUT WHETHER YOU BELIEVE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES REALLY DESERVE THE MILLIONS THAT THEY MAKE. THINK ABOUT WHETHER YOU WILL TAKE THE NEXT FEW SECONDS TO SIGN THIS PETITION. AND THINK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE YOU CAN MAKE!
