Athletes Are Not Overpaid

2. Fans pay for professional athletes salary

2.1. "If they're good, they put a lot of people in the seats, they sell a lot of merchandise for the team. you are promptly paying for their salary," (Walden).

3. Doctors buy tickets to the game

3.1. When I go to Pro-sports games I see doctors, lawyers, and many other people with a high profession. You might say they make less money than athletes, but they're the ones at the game paying to watch them.

4. Most people can't say they are or were on a pro team

4.1. "Athletes put in well over 40 hours a week of practice, study, workouts, and game time. They also put their careers on the line each and every time they go to work" (Stein).
