don't contribute to society, money should go to more deserving people

should learn other skills and not depend on sport especially as time is limited

inflation of superiority, ruins the fun

Sportsmen, even in our advanced 21st century society, have one of the highest earning jobs even in 1st world countries. Yes, even some scientists earn less than a career that just consists of kicking balls around. Do you see a problem with this? After all, it is imperative we invest in important jobs that will ensure our safety and success, those that truly contribute to our community. We cannot spill endless money into the salaries of sportsmen who can only work for a limited time. Especially in such a job, we cannot give them such an advantage-capping salaries teaches humility, reduces the sense of superiority and encourages passionate sportsmen to work for enjoyment, not for the money. It's time we focus on the important things.

In what way do sportsmen truly contribute to society? Sure, they provide a form of entertainment, but is there anything else? Do they save lives? Do they educate people? Do they make living easier? These are the questions we must consider when thinking about the future we set out for developing generations. As previously mentioned, a lot of important jobs earn even less than the careers of elite sportsmen do. Medical professionals who save lives. Journalists who risk their lives to make important matters known. Even teachers, who strive to provide education for every child. Isn't it unfair how they have to work so much harder and reap less rewards? They are the biggest contributors to our society, yet all the money is pouring into the pockets of mere sportsmen.

Capping salaries also encourages sportsmen to acquire other skills other than athletic ones. This is also for the better-they don't have to rely on just sports related jobs. This increases versatility in career choices. After all, as you are only physically able to do sports for a limited amount of time, you can't give up after you retire in your 20s! To support yourself financially you need to find other jobs. It also increases self confidence. Imagine only ever being good at sport, but now you can't demonstrate that ability because you're retired and now you have nothing else! 

This humbleness that comes with capping salaries is also beneficial for even the consumers of sport entertainment. If sportsmen aren't working for the large salaries anymore, they are more likely to work because they enjoy the sport. This means more passionate, dedicated athletes will come into the industry. Not only will sports fans feel safer knowing they support good-natured athletes, but these players will be good role models for young children who are equally passionate about sports. We want to teach the new generation to cultivate their passions, not work for money-this can only be achieved with capping salaries.

We cannot let sportsmen get away with raking in all this money while people with more helpful jobs have to struggle. High salaries for an useless job only increases corruption, arrogance and diminishes the fun and passion that real sportsmen should work for. If we do not put a stop to this soon, this problem will never even itself out and plague our community. Give rewards where it's due. Cap the salaries of elite sportsmen.
