- 43: Greed In Sports
- Greed Among Professional Athletes Due to the greediness of sports figures, professional athletes are not punished in the same manner as other professionals are. It is like they are in a completely different group that uses an entirely different set of morals. Team owners care more about making their money that they do about setting a good example for young kids and making professional sports fun again rather than a business. Three good examples of this greediness are Roberto Alomar, Warren Sapp, and Dennis Rodman. Team owners and their respective leagues need to do something to turn this situation around before they have murderers and rapists playing sports for millions of dollars a year. Roberto Alomar makes 5.5 million dollars a year due to his five Gold Gloves. He is one of major league baseball’s best all around players and ...
- 44: Crime 2
- When people think of high salaries they turn to the world of professional sports, because that is where athletes are paid outrageous amounts to do the things they love.

For an example of this statement take into consideration the time and effort that most pro athletes spend at perfecting there acquired talent. They are fine tuned instruments, who work hard to do their jobs on the field, on the court, or on the course. They do this because they love the game. Golfers don t get paid as much as other Pro-sports, but do their job just as well. Athletes are paid way to much, but golfers are not. Now take into consideration how much professional baseball players make a season. The average earned income in ...

- 46: Little League Coaches
- ... coach is to argue calls and buy ice cream for the players after the game. It is sad that people do not appreciate the influence that a coach can have on a child. Kids play sports because they have fun and they can dream of the fame and glory of professional athletics. Sports have many benefits besides entertainment values. There are many role models for children in the world of athletics. Normally, it is the professional athletes who are thought of as the role models for kids.

- 47: How The Scales Of Inequality A
- Introduction I am using the sports industry as a medium to illustrate how the scales of inequality are weighted in favour of males. In particular, we are looking at the ways in which women are breaking through the barriers into areas that could not have been envisaged fifty years ago. The sports industry is extremely diverse and is currently experiencing rapid growth and development. The industry¡¦s profits run into billions each year. The business of sport has certainly not been immune or isolated from gender inequalities. Traditionally, professional sports management has been the exclusive realm of males. Sport is often regarded as one of societies most traditional male institutions. However, one of the most important phrases of the ¡¥90¡¦s¡¦ has been ¡¥gender ...

- 49: Greed In Sports
- Greed In Sports Recently Michael Jordan wanted to de-certify the union of the National Basketball Association, because he felt he could never make what he was “worth” under the current agreement. Michael Jordan had an estimated income ... all the same, suddenly develops a greed that is unimaginable. Not only do they want to get paid, but they want to get paid more than anyone has a right to for playing a game. Sports will always be the owners business, the players job, and the fans game. I think the owners and players often forget this, but the fans are the ones who pay for it. The players see ... willingness to pay. The solution for all of this madness is a salary cap. Baseball and basketball due have salary caps now, but $35 million divided by twelve players is hardly a cap. In all sports they should have a maximum of $100,00 for rookies and $1 million for everyone else. Athletes do entertain millions of people, so I think they should be paid well.
