Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
World famous athletes such as Ronaldo or Messi in football can earn more than $100000 per week, and that number is only a fraction of what they can earn through advertising and sponsoring contracts. It seems unfair when world class surgeons or engineers are never received such popularity and paychecks. However, it does not mean that becoming an athlete is an easier pathway; and in this perspective, I think that the money sports stars receive is justified.
First of all, studying medical science, engineering or information technology at a university guarantees that we can find a job after graduation. Even though it is very competitive in this time of economy crisis, these professions are always needed by the society. Surfing the internet or looking at local newspapers, we can find companies hiring accountants, programmers or doctors every day. How often do we see anyone need a tennis player? Because athletes follow a riskier path, a higher reward is required to encourage them.
In addition, considering playing sports as an easy job is seriously misunderstanding. The number of players among the elite group that we know their names is just the tip of an iceberg.

To sum up, the fortune that sports stars are enjoying is the result of their efforts and talent; consequently, they totally deserve it. However, society might need to appreciate the contribution of other professions as they are more necessary than sports.
