Is it morally acceptable for athletes to receive enormous salaries for so little work?
Athletes work hard. If they have be noticed by a national team of any kind, they need to be in to shape – which includes gym time, practice time, plus any study time to make up for the time they were away playing games ( college). They dont spend enough time with their families becoz they are on tours. They need to be play well if they want to continue getting paid what they get. And all athletes dont get paid ostentatious amounts – only ones with charisma,talent and attitude do.

I also agree that many people are not paid enough for what they do for a job, and that they often give up just as much in the case of soldiers and the like. Teachers are to me the most important jobs in the world. They put up with kids that parents pay others to take care of, nad often work many hours at home. With out them we as a country would have
