Some athletes out on the football field are more aware to the situation of the high prices they are paid. Kevin Green, a defensive linebacker said It is true that we are getting paid outrageous amount for what we do out on the turf, but we are the most likely to get hurt in all professional sports. We want to make sure we get what we need before we get out of the league. Kevin Green gives a lot of his money to charitable events and is a very honorable player also, he is not just out there for the money. Now then amongst the most popular television events there is a sport that is respected and loved by millions, but being the men they are, tour golfers aren t paid extreme amounts.
Golf is a gentlemen s game and is respected by all.
Players aren t paid a salary like most sports, they have to win a tournament to earn it. From tournament to tournament they are struggling to make a living by doing what they love. The truth is that there is not a whole lot of money to be won on tour either. For an example Greg Norman is the top money winner of all time. Compare that to any other sport and you will see that the average baseball and basketball players make that within two or three years.
