==== Advantages: ==== * Athletes have rare talents and short career spans; high pay is (arguably) justified by the huge revenue and entertainment they generate * Top sports leagues are lucrative industries β player salaries reflect the market value and attract global talent * Successful athletes often give back via charities or inspire youth to excel in sports and fitness Disadvantages: * Creates a sense of imbalance when athletes earn vastly more than teachers, nurses, etc. (raises questions of social priorities) * Ticket prices and merchandise costs may rise for fans to support these massive salaries (sports becomes expensive for the public) * Can encourage unhealthy focus on money in sports, possibly fueling corruption or doping to achieve success at any cost
