Topic Proposal Salaries in Sports

Salaries in Sports (are they fair)
I want to write on the salaries in professional sports. I know that professional athletes are among the highest paid professionals out there. Professional baseball players have the highest salary in all of the major pro sports. I think that I will probably need to find out the actual salaries of these sports, other salaries to compare against, if these athletes deserve these high paying salaries for the work they do. Also I want to know is who cares enough about these sports to pay these ridiculous salaries, and why they do it. I also want to figure out if this issue is affecting our economy, and if it is when this is an issue. Right now I’m not leaning either way, these athletes do entertain fans, and put a toll on their bodies in the process, on the other hand these athletes are being paid salaries and signing bonuses multiple times as the most important man in our nation, the president. Does their need to be a salary cap on each player to spread money throughout our economy instead of billionaires spending it on these athletes? This is a question I want answered through my research.

response to Scott Russell Sanders essay

I think that the author does a very good job by going through and explaining the types of men he knows in his life. This helps to get a better understanding of how he views men in the world. It also helps to get a better aspect from the other sides views. It allows the reader to feel for these hard working men. Also it helps you to see the benefits of education and how it saves your body from the intense hours and hard labor. I disagree that men or women work harder. Both sexes play important roles in our society today, maybe back in the day men had harder physical lives, but women had more to deal with mentally.

I see myself aligning with this arguement in that i see the relation in my grandparents. My grandpa was always doing hard labor ever since his early teen years where as my grandma went to college and ended up gettting a job high up the rankings for the state. You can see the effects now in my grandpas breathing and personal health where as my grandma never gets sick. Nowadays though my dad reversed the role and became a teacher and is a very healthy individual.

I think this arguement kinda relates back to the education arguement, it changes the outcome of your future, even as far as your health.

I think that by starting in a debate it helps the author get his views in. Sanders does a good job at going through the main occupations for men from his childhood, this also broadens the readers mind on his past, which conveys his arguement even more.
