Yes they would still play for less money if they were offered less money , because they would still want to be paid for their job.

They are not payed to much because they are the ones who are known throughout the country and are the best in the world being displayed on tv so other people can watch them, If I was a player I would play but I would want money alot of money if I was going to sacrifice my body everyday or every week.

Athletes are definately overpaid way too much. I agree that most of them played because they love the sport, and i also agree that if they were paid a whole lot less, they would still keep playing.

Most players are paid for their skills and performances and i think thats fair. But the players that ride the bench get paid too much.

i agree with the people saying no, because these players do way more things then just play professional sports. like kobe bryant is the basedgod in basketball, he shouldn't be getting paid less then a billion a year.

It depends on what sport it is, because every sport is different.

I disagree that professional athletes are paid too much. In order for them to maintain their positions as elite players, a lot of grueling work ethic goes into their sport. Took a look at Kobe. Even though people have different opinions of them most people can agree on the fact that Kobe has a hard work ethic. He is one of the elite players of the most elite basketball association! So there should be a reward for all of his hard work.

I agree with the people who say that athletes are over paid because their services arent very important while other things are more nessasary .

I think they are overpaid, if we get paid so little for work we dont like. Why do they get payed so much for doing something they enjoy, and woudnt care about the money in the first place.

Yes I agree that they are overpaid. I thought TigerDell said it fairly well. They only contribute to society by entertaining and they make millions where people who have worked extremely in daily lives that actually make contributions are barely able to make ends meet.

They are not overpaid, they work just as hard for their money plus giving the audience entertainment. They train all the time and prepare for their season.

I think athletes are paid alot of money for no reason sometimes, when police, and firefighters should get more! but it's fair because when the team owners have so much shouldn't they have to dish alot out? why should the owner of the team have so much money and some of the team have little!

Professional athletes are not overpaid; they work hard for their salary. They are paid based on demand for sports, and the everyday American supports athletes by continuing to watch them on TV and buying merchandise.

It actually makes me mad that people who are paid to entertain others are paid more than scientist who are trying to cure diseases.. Or police officers who rescue others, or firemen or ambulances. They get paid that much for doing something that doesnt actually contribute to society in a positive way? Then if others are gonna say '' well they are role models '' or something like that, well all i got to say is that, that fact is nice and all but what about the things we really need.. I mean they are working out and all that, and i undrstand they work hard and i understand that we want them to play and we pay them that much but that still doesnt make it rightto me. Im not upset with the players as much as im upset with society.. We pay others that much to do something during our spare time and for some fun but we cant spare change to charity? We feel its to much work or some people say it probably wont help anyways? Well atleast it has a higher chance of working than a sport.. Thats my opinion and i respect anyone elses.

I think most professional athletes are overpaid because they really dont work hard enough to get all that money and they're not saving lives and they're not trying to find a cure for cancer or a disease.
