Undoubtedly, sports are a multimillion dollar industry. Due to this reason, people associated with this profession are earning much greater salaries as compared to doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers and business graduates. Some people is in the favor of this argument while others believed this as unfavorable. To some extent it is justified but there is also a need to have other side of the picture as well.

Couple of people is of the view that this stance is totally unfair particularly in this recessionary period. This will bring income disparity which is harmful for the society. In this way, the gap between the social classes widens. There is a need to have harmony and balance of wealth in the economy. It is much better to spend this excessive salary to feed the poor of our locality.

Whereas other group of people supports this view and argue that there are very few sportsmen who are earning high wages. There is one David Beckham, one Sachin Tendulkar. Not every player is as wealthier as they are. Besides this, the average age of players is the shortest than any other profession. Players get retired at an early age of 30’s and 40’s. On the other hand doctors and lawyers can do practice even after the age of 65. Players work day and night to bring glory and winning cups for the whole country. It is because of these players that any nation can organize tournament that is prime factor in generating a lot of revenue.

In short, I would like to say that claim is fully justified and there is no harm of earning a huge amount of money.
