英语自学网

　　As a result of constant media attention, sports
        　　professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at
the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live extravagant
lifestyles with huge houses and cars.
        　　Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these
super salaries with those of top
        　　surgeons or research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the
responsibility of governing the country. However, sports salaries are not
determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the
level of responsibility he or she holds. Instead, they reflect the public
popularity of sport in general and the level of public support that successful
stars can generate. So the notion of ‘fairness’ is not the issue.
        　　Those who feel that sports stars’ salaries are justified might argue that
the number of professionals with real talent are very few, and the money is a
recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful.
Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform. in their
relatively short career. The pressure from the media is intense and there is
little privacy out of the spotlight. So all of thesefactors may justify the huge
earnings.
        　　Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars make is more
justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, it
indicates that our society places more value on sport than on more essential
professions and achievements.
