Sports stars are paid too much money

Thank you for you interesting argument. I feel that being in a navy is playing a part to protect the country when the country sovereighty is threatened. They help to protect the country from what most of us can see. You also said that there are many people died in the Navy. If you see it that way in which saying that the navy or the people in the military jobs should paid more, then what about those country where all fit men must serve the military force? The government would need to pay a large sum of money for each one them, then what happened to the rest of the people who are not in the defence force? Their livelihood would be affected as the government would increase the taxes that working population need to paid so that they will have enough money to pay the high salaries of the navy and police officer. Furthermore, it is not only the police officer or the navy protecting the country, everyone play an important role in protecting the country. People should have pride in their country and willing to stand up to defend their country when terrorist attack instead of running away. Coming back the the topic. I felt that Sport Stars are not really paid too much money. Firstly, I would like to point out that money that these sports stars earn from advertisements is not always directly as a result of their talent but more of their marketability and their "star factor". It is not so much because Maria Sharapova can hit a tennis ball across the court that she is in such demand by advertisers. When David Beckham was said to have lost his magic touch in his freekicks, he was still often seem on glossy posers for "Gillette". Hence, the fact that the huge amounts of money that sport stars earn does not completely stem from their talent is enough for any discerning people to think that the athletes" talents only constitutes a small portion of the total sum that they get, and thus, it cannot always be said that they are paid too much money for their talent. Secondly, becoming a sport star is not as simple as what most people can see. Sport Stars have went through endless of mental and physical training to enable them to develop a right state of mind for the upcoming competition they have to attend. Sport Stars are like swords. They shine in the battlegrounds. Every sword you see is the product of someone's blood, sweat, and tears. Same for Sport stars , they put in their effort into the sports. Being good at a sport does not come naturally from a human, it is through tedious training. Sometimes things may not turn out to be what as expected, through training they may end up injured themselves as excelling in sport may not seem that easy. Sport Stars deserved to be paid more. And furthermore, due to globalisation, more countries are attracting talented people to come to their country to earn income to earn more money. Talented people are in need. Sport Stars is counted as talented people. They have a talent in playing sports. When government attracted these people to come to their country, they will earn recognition as what follows behind them are all the media and the fans that support them. More people will come to the country to visit them to see them, the government can meanwhile can earn revenue fro the fans of the Sports Star that came from overseas, which will indeed improve the economy of the country. Companies such as NIKE would also like to invite sports star to promote their products through media such as advertisement. Not everybody can be a sport star, that why they are highly paid as they deserved it. I end of by saying sport stars are highly paid because they deserved it. ( Its kind of like last minute) Thank you. God bless.
