Many people look at the insane salaries many of these athletes recieve and say that they don’t deserve it. For eg, CR7: $260M, Curry: $160M etc. This is salary + endorsements.
If you’re one of the best athletes in the world in some of the most popular global sports and are watched by hundreds of millions, if not billions of people, you deserve massive paydays.
Hell, these athletes are probably bringing in billions of dollars in revenue to their respective organisation/sport so it’s only right that they get their share.
Many people say “omg heart surgeons only get $600k, the world is a scam”. I have no doubt that being a heart surgeon is a more important job to the world than being an athlete but that doesn’t mean they deserve to get paid more. Respected more? Sure.
You get paid based off the revenue that you generate for your service, more or less.
