Debate: Isn't it ridiculous, on how athletes get paid billions to run with a ball?
Side: this is ridiculous!

for all those who think it's ridiculouscan you match their speedWhat's that have to do with anything?Some cooks make legendarily delicious lunches, should they be paid in million dollar contracts? Some artists paint or sculpt well beyond what most can do, should they get millions? I could go on. The reason athletes get ludicrous sums of money is that they fill an entertainment niche that appeals to the average man, and it's very competitive.
Debate: Isn't it ridiculous, on how athletes get paid billions to run with a ball?

all those who sell their sculptures do earn a lot of money maybe not millions but not even too less nw plz go on with that long list of yours

I believe you missed the point. Athletes don't get paid based on talent alone, it's their ability to draw in money.

answer my first questions man they run and that's their only source of moneythey aren't corrupt and they don't draw it in they work for it

Side: this is ridiculous!

answer my first questions manthey run and that's their only source of moneythey aren't corrupt and they don't draw it in they work for itThere are thousands of menial, service and artistic jobs that have very skilled labourers who don't make millions. That's your answer.Athletes aren't special, if they need money they could get a job like everyone else. You choose to elevate them however by feeding into an industry that perpetually increases their salaries as more and more competitive contracts are put out.Basically, my argument is that it isn't based on fairness, just what sells.

for good jobs you need good qualifications half the athletes aren't frm good families poor people mean poor education meaning poor jobs if you had poor qualifications and you would be given the athletic job and the labourers job what would you choose ruuning without losing your name or working on houses and having lost your name????????????????and another thing talk to me when you've beaten the gr8 jamaican runner(i frgt hi name)make a record and u'l no why they r paid so high

The debate isn't about our qualifications, but instead for or against the incomes of these people. Running very fast isn't a skill that has worth in a productive society. These types of salaries raise people who have unproductive skills high above those of us who have very useful skills and make society function.

okay maybe i went a bit too deep in our lives but face it can you tell me the name of atleast one athlete who earns in billions and trillions????and i think my point about the contracts is worth talking of they have to find a source to earn money and if they get it by running then why not the cricket players earn so much more for every matchwhy should they get money for just swinging a bat to hit a balla li'l far off?????????/
Debate: Isn't it ridiculous, on how athletes get paid billions to run with a ball?
Side: this is ridiculous!

can you tell me the name of atleast one athlete who earns in billions and trillions????To my knowledge none earn billions or trillions, but some earn millions.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Forbes_Celebrity_100 Tiger Woods for example makes over 100 million.and i think my point about the contracts is worth talking ofthey have to find a source to earn money and if they get it by running then why not The issue isn't necessarily earning a living by running. People do all sorts of things to make money. The issue is that they make hundreds, thousands of times more than some of the best paid people who work in very necessary jobs like doctors, for example.the cricket players earn so much more for every matchwhy should they get money for just swinging a bat to hit a balla li'l far off?????????/Again, if they want to play cricket that's fine, but they shouldn't be earning so much money for such a meaningless job. That's the point I'm arguing.

dude Again, if they want to play cricket that's fine, but they shouldn't be earning so much money for such a meaningless job. That's the point I'm arguing.then we r sort of arguing over the same point not the same point thoughif the cricket players earn so much then why can't the athletes earn at least a part of the money??????????????

well we have to stick to the point soi think that if the cricketers make s much money then so should the runner i don't know why the debate creator only pointed towards the runners
Debate: Isn't it ridiculous, on how athletes get paid billions to run with a ball?
Side: this is ridiculous!

I believe he was just using cricketers as an example. The overall debate was about athletes being paid millions for their game of choice.Specifically it's about how these athletes are being paid so much money that could and should go towards humanitarian efforts.
Debate: Isn't it ridiculous, on how athletes get paid billions to run with a ball?

the govt pays them so much coz they(the govt) have more money stored away in their treasuries

maybe they are a bit overpaid but so are other celebrities have u ever seen a celebrity wearing the same clothes all over againthink how much they spend every time to spend so much money the actors/actresses must even earn so much even that money can go to the humanitarian efforts
Debate: Isn't it ridiculous, on how athletes get paid billions to run with a ball?
Side: this is ridiculous!

Yes, I realise this but because the scope was limited to athletes I avoided the topic. I realise that the market allows for these people to earn vastly more money than their merit would allow but I just think the money could go to better use. That's why it bothers me, there are people dying and suffering from lack of infrastructure while a few hundred miles or kilometres away someone is making enough money that would be better invested helping those people.

If you think they shouldnt get that money either, then why are you arguing and going so far into this.?

Don't You remember the girl who was homeless and poor and was able to play this 1 instrument amazingly, do you remeber where she went?? she got into harvard and shes most likely going to be a proffesional. It dosent matter on where there from... i dont understand this statment.?

As someone said before, yes, they should get paid for what they do, but also docors etc. make good money too, and there actually helping people. But for the actresses, actors, athletes, and, singers that is just giving people entertainment, not helping there education or a job, and we dont have to beat a record of a Jamaican runner, or any other athlete, in order to get paid that much!

Maybe people can't stand up to the athletes , actors, and actresses, (ect.) but that dosent have anything to do with them getting paid, we pretty much understand how it works now, those people are just getting money because they draw alot of more money in!
Debate: Isn't it ridiculous, on how athletes get paid billions to run with a ball?

It is a simple case of supply and demand if there was no demand there would be no supply. There is millions if not billions of wannabe athletes out there, they work hard, very hard, becoming a successful athlete is grueling work. The coaches and the owners pick the best because they want to win the leagues, if they want the players bad enough they pay better money than the next team it is as simple as that. Also endorsements from third party companies lead to great increases in their personal wealth.You can not question the salaries of stars based on environmental and political points. Do governments not spend trillions on endless wars? Are energy companies not making trillions on energy and in the process of trying to monopolies green energy? Shouldn't this money be better spent if it was spread around? Picking on stars of screen and field is missing what is really going on.

Okay, yes you have your point and i said "others too", in previous statements. I agree. there is others but in your fist passsage i dont agree with though, they are not getting paid for the ability its how much money they bring in ( thats what is pretty obvious in my view). I think that i can question the salaries upon the stars, because even though they work 5 days a week, when people work for 7 days a week, they should get paid more money. think of it this way, they go to a place to practice, on camera, and what do they say " okay heres your million dollar check, because i blew the whistle or i said "action" or to "sing". <-- i wouldnt doubt it.
Debate: Isn't it ridiculous, on how athletes get paid billions to run with a ball?

I understand what you mean, i agree to its just that i dont agree with the first sentence. I think from my point of view, that its not always placed on there ability for coaches its how much money they bring in. :)

Side: i dont agree!

Like someone said in the other section on how they do agree: " working at a plant and dying because of an accident is less important then someone running two feet to catch a ball."And when you think about it, this is so true. A person died doing its job to help people like you, but all you really wanted to do is watch that movie or go to a sports game.Also there are people who dont have enough money to live or we cant help the enviorment as much... is because we give it to people because they are going to entertain us, but not help us what so ever, in life... this makes no sense. This is what is called pure selfishness.

Side: this is ridiculous!

I know I'm late but I'm new to this site haha and I found this debate pretty interesting but You act like it's easy " running with two feet to catch a ball" idk what sports your talking about but have you played football??? Have you seen the risks involved?? The constant brain problems these guys are having as they get into there 50s and 60s??? You act like the players are at fault for this! Most of them play just because they love the game they play and just to entertain us! Not because they wanna get paid! Some do but not all. These players go to extreme lengths Just to satisfy our thirst! These sports are what make us unique man, you can't just jump to conclusion and say, it they're money hungry.. No they the country! They inspire little kids to work hard and stay on the right path to success! I saw an interview and ray lewis of the BALTIMORE RAVENS was PICKED to inspire soldiers before they flew Into Iraq. Some guy says he wears is ray lewis shirt just cause it inspires him. These sports are a way of inspiration not just entertainment and people have to realize that

Free markets are very simple, if it didn't pay for someone to pay those salaries, it wouldn't be done. It is done because the market calls for it. If teams lost money, it would end because the market says so.

Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Israel

Read about the Hamas charter by clicking the links bellow.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HamasThen tell me again how Hamas is not hell bent on destroying Israel. Tell me again how Hamas only wants the lands stolen in 1967.Read about the conditions leading up to the war in 1967 and tell me again how Israel instigated that war.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

But then again, innocent palestinians were driven out of their homes.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Israel

Agreed. Even if Palestinians got land they wanted, that would not satisfy them. They want destruction of Israel. This is something that will never occur.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

Tell me who is winning this war exactly? If that's not even enough, posting who killed who on social media just stepped beyond the boundaries - don't you think? Besides, in times of war, no one is winning. I think it's high time for censorship: http://www.equibbly.com/disputes/israel-gaza-waging-war-on-social-media-should-be-censored
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Israel

A certain ex-PLO sniper under Yasser Arafat, Taas Saada quoted: "The war in the Middle East is not "political" but rather "spiritual...", no matter what we do as long the Arab nations don't respect the rights of existence of Jews (Israel) as much as the Israel respects their religion (we all know arabs are free to live in Israel and even receive citizenship) the tension will not stop, more lives will be at stake both for Israel and Palestine. As Golda Meir said, "[The Arabs] will stop fighting us when they love their children more than they hate [Jews]." Now, think about it.......
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

The Palestinians will never accept Israel because every year they are taking parts of their land driving them out of there homes. So i think it is justifiable that they hate Israel which are Jews.They wont stop hating Jews till they stop hating Israel.You can call It lake of education because of there bad situation.As for other Arabs they are not interfering in the situation now so why would anyone think they will if Israel stopped cutting supplies and taking land from the Palestinian people.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Israel

The violence in the region was initiated by the Palestinians and the Arab nations bordering the region. Under British rule Palestine was a haven for both Jews and native Arabs. However, in recognition of the long chain of abuses against the Jewish nation throughout the world the United Nations determined to create a sovereign nation for the Jews in the former British protectorate. The Arabic inhabitants of the region refused to accept the plan, though they made no attempt to make their case in the UN or to try and peacefully mediate a new plan. Instead shortly after the Israeli nation was created the Palestinians welcomed an Arab army invading from Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq in May of 1948. Many Arabs fled the region (estimated up to 80%), with the promise of a triumphant return when the Jews were utterly defeated. They would be disappointed. The Israelis refused to give up their new state and forced a stalemate ending the war. Personally I believe that the Israeli and Palestinian nations are entitled to their own states. However, concessions must be made by both sides in order for this to be a practical solution. The UN's original partition plan, or another like it, should be adopted and Jerusalem should become an international territory controlled by neither country. However, this cannot occur until Palestinian terrorism is desisted and both parties become willing to come to the table peacefully.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

The violence in the region was initiated by the Palestinians and the Arab nations bordering the regionI think this is because the Jews took land and homes from the Palestinians. This is what I am trying to get at: what happened in the beginning? Even if Israel can today say that they have a right to protect their citizens against terrorism, it doesn't excuse them from what they did in the beginning. Even David Ben-Gurion admitted this.in recognition of the long chain of abuses against the Jewish nation throughout the world the United Nations determined to create a sovereign nation for the JewsThat's another thing. The Jews had other options too. I understand the historical significance of the 'Holy Land', but do crimes committed against Jews by people who were not Arabs give the Jews the right to settle wherever they want, even taking over someone else's country? (I realize that Palestine didn't exist as a 'state' but I refer to Palestine as a country because it pretty much was, even if not technically.)
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Too much killing

I think the history you mention is largely irrelevant. Maybe the creation of Israel wasn't such a good idea -- but what's done is done. It's not like we can take all the Jews out of Israel and stick them someplace else.The only solution is for both sides to put the past behind and broker a deal based on present practicalities.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Palestine

Your argument is right, but it is more complicated than that. What's done is done, that's true, but the fact is that Israel has made life incredibly hard for the Palestinians since the creation of the Jewish state. That is what's really the basis of my argument: that Israel would like to play the victim because its people are always being attacked, but the Israeli occupation of Palestine is the reason for those attacks.
Debate: Israel versus Palestine
Side: Israel

"Israel has made life incredibly hard for the Palestinians since the creation of the Jewish state."In David Ben Gurion's speech declaring independence for Israel (May 14, 1948) he said that if the Palestinians stayed on their land nothing would happen to them. The Arab countries told them that the Jews would murder them all and most Palestinians fell for it. So If you are going to blame anyone for the plight of the Palestinians blame the Arabs in Syria, Jordan, and Egypt.
