In the recent decades, professional “star” athletes’ salaries have exploded to unprecedented levels, sparking a debate on whether they deserve them. There are reasons why they warrant such high salaries and there are reasons why they do not. However, judging from the supply-and-demand theory of the sports market, it is largely justified that sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professionals, such as teachers.
On the one side of the debate, it is said that high income for sports superstars are unfair. To begin with a typical question, why do professional ball-players, who engaged in a sport that was invented for fun, earn 1,000 times more than school teachers (or jobs like police officers, firefighters, and nurses)? It is obvious that pay and importance do not match because teaching school, for example, is more important than hitting and throwing a ball. The rising gap between the average income of an ordinary household and the overpaid professional athletes’ income might pose a serious threat to society, in terms of income inequality. Besides, the situation may drain the true meaning of sports as more youngsters want to become professional atheists for the big money rather than for the love of the game.
On the other side of the debate, it is argued that the extremely high rewards for quality sports celebrities can be fully justified. There is no secret that professional athletes sacrifice important aspects of their lives. For example, players place their bodies in danger constantly and physical injury can leave athletes handicapped or disabled for the rest of their lives. Thus, their salaries are a fair compensation for the countless time and energy they put into training and the huge health risks they take, especially considering that their careers typically end around the age of 35.
Plus, they also have celebrity effect, which draws more paying fans in and at the same time generates lucrative endorsement deals related to advertising rates. In short, they deserve to earn much more.
To conclude, the determination of salaries is rather simple: salaries will be set by the interaction of the demand for the most valuable athletes in a particular discipline and the general supply of athletes from the sports field. Super-stars deserve to learn a great deal more money than people in other important professionals. Can the market theory justify this tendency?
