Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money The appearance of increasingly parents choose the profession of sports for their children--from basketball to skating to the tennis ball, has raised a question that whether the successful sports professionals should be highly paid, especially much more than other important professionals such as doctors and teachers. This discussion will attempt to provide an overview that it is of fairness for successful sports professionals to earn a great deal of money. A lot of news stories found on television, in the newspapers and on the Internet suggest that many people complain it is of unfairness for athletes to be highly paid. For instance, many other professionals such doctors, teachers and technologists work hard at their occupations are not so well paid in China. This point can also be illustrated with the example of a piece of news in the recent newpaper, which reported that several primary school teachers in a rural area of China had not been paid for two years. Although it seems that there are so many negative effects for the athletes to earn so much money compared with the other people especially the above primary school teachers, I still hold the prospective that the sports professionals are worth of being highly paid. First and foremost, only those who with talent may be successful in the sports field. In addition, it is such a hard way for the athletes, who even begin to receive strict training at a kindergarten age, to be successful especially to win a international medal. What`s more, when athletes get medals during the international competitions, the great honors not only belong to themselves but also to the country. At that time, they are the nation`s heroes and everyone is pround of them. I think, as a consequence, it is of fairness for the successful sports professionals to be highly paid. Nevertheless, the government also need to take measures to promote the paid for individuals who work hard in their unsubstituted professions.
