sports personalities

Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinions.

Successful sports personalities are almost synonymous to the big actors and actresses of Hollywood. They need to deal with more pressing issues like privacy, security, and health risk.

Being sucessful in the field of sports also means that the person is popular, and this popularity can draw too much attention from fans and paparazzi. If popular sports personalities would not be given a higher compensation then their lives can be in danger. By receiving a great deal of money makes it fair and allow them to afford high end amenities like hotels and the like which would minimize stalkers and paparazzi in meddling with their activities. On the other hand, other popular persons like scientists and doctors cannot be considered to be in danger from paparazzi or stalkers. They payment that they are receiving would still be enough to provide them comfort and satisfaction.

Another reason why sports professionals high salary would seem to be justifiable is because of the risk that they are entittled to. As a sports person they are always prone to health risk because most of the task that they are doing are mostly physical it could be so fast that once something goes wrong they wouldn’t have any control over it.The large amount of money that they are receiving would just be enough in case they encounter an accident. However, the work of scientists and doctors might also offer some health hazzards, but it would still be in a controlled level because they are mostly working in a step by step fashion which would still give them the leverage in case something goes wrong.

Therefore in my view I think that the high salary given to sports personalities is just fair and justifiable, because they are always risking their lives during their performances and from their stalkers.
