Pros getting Overpaid or Underpaid

Athletes are they over paid or underpaid? As an athlete I personally wouldn’t mind getting over paid. But that’s just because I love money but then again who wouldn’t mind getting overpaid for playing a sport they love. Now the question I ask is who determines if a athlete is getting over paid or underpaid. For those who don’t play sports you “guys” have no idea how much work and commitment we put in. I’m in college right now and part of the men’s soccer team, from first hand I can tell you we defiantly put in the work and we are passionate about it, and if we could we would all love to continue to do this for the rest of our lives. This probably goes for every sport for any college. But for those who get a chance to go further then college can tell you its harder then we think. It’s a job, but as people we think how hard can it really be.
This is where things differ, pros practice everyday and even sometimes twice a day. For example I know the US Men’s national team practice twice a day either they hold 2 sessions or one lifting session and the second one is a regular session with the coach. They have to eat a certain way to be able to maintain that extra edge. We do live in a competitive world you know. Where everybody wants to start, and if that’s not enough they wouldn’t be considered the best player for their team, and if anything the league. Here are some athletes who I found that they say they are getting over paid but you decide.
