Athletes Are Overpaid
Kristen Carolyn Giddens
https://www.theodysseyonline.com/professional-athletes-overpaid
Have you ever really thought about how much professional athletes
are paid? If you look at the numbers, you will be shocked at how much money
they are bringing in. Here are the top paid professional athletes from
each sport and how much they are paid - per year.
Phil Mickelson: Golf- $50.8 million
Did that make your jaw drop? These numbers are insane. Can you
believe someone makes that much money just to play a sport? I understand that
players put in hours upon hours of hard work practicing for the games, but
should they really make millions of dollars? There are people all over the
world struggling just to live a normal life, but the professional athletes live
a life of luxury all because they play for a popular team.
Think about this on another aspect. We have people in our world
that go out everyday and save the lives of our loved ones, but how much do they
get paid? The average salary of a cardiothoracic surgeon is $430,021. Why
should they make less money than someone who plays a sport? The same goes for
the military. As of 2014, a Sergeant of U.S Military who had two years of
experience made $26,172. A sergeant with six years of experience made $32,814.
It makes me sick to know that someone who is out fighting for our country gets
paid significantly less than someone who simply plays a sport.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing sports in any way, and I do
believe professional athletes should get paid; I just don't think they should
get paid millions of dollars.
It breaks my heart to know that there are people who can't afford
to feed themselves or their children. What hurts even more is to know there are
people dying from cancer everyday because there isn't a cure. Why not cut the
players' pay and use the money towards finding a cure? We have veterans who are
homeless. People who fought for our country and our freedom should not have to
face homelessness. They should be our top priority to take care of just like
they took care of us. Yet there are Americans who support the ridiculous pay of
sports. If you watch a game on TV, attend a game, or simply wear clothing with
a number, player, or team written on it, you are supporting this.
We definitely need to get our priorities straight when it comes to
salaries. Somebody's life is worth way more than somebody's talent to play a
sport.
Cyberbullying
Instagram is the worst
social network for cyber bullying: study
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Move over, Facebook, Instagram is now
the worst social networking site for cyber bullying.
Ditch the Label, a British anti-bullying
nonprofit group, says its investigation
revealed that the photo-sharing site is where youth between 12 and 20
experience cyber bullying the most.
The organization surveyed over 10,000
British teens to measure their experiences with cyberbullying. Seventeen
percent of respondents reported being cyber bullied — with 42% saying they were
bullied on Instagram. Facebook wasn’t far behind, at 37%, Snapchat was next at
31%. Twitter (9%) and Tumblr (3%) were at the bottom.
“Our theme this year was to explore the
impact of technology and digital abuse upon the lives of young people,” says
Liam Hackett, Founder and CEO of Ditch the Label.
“Young
people,” Hackett also says in the report, “have a huge disconnect between the
things that happen online and reality, with 44% of respondents believing that
only things happening offline could be considered as ‘real life.’”
Previous
research has placed Facebook as the worst social network for cyber bullying. A
2014 Cox Communications study on online safety — which surveyed
1,301 teens from 13-17 years old — said 39% of teens witnessed bullying on
Facebook. Instagram and Twitter were lowest at 22%. The Ditch the Label survey
also says that 69% of the participants admitted they have done something
abusive toward someone else online, men (16%) more than women (8%).
Online bullying activities include
sending screenshots/pictures of someone to others in a group chat in order to
laugh at them, trolling others in a game, liking or sharing a post that mocks
others or sending nasty messages to someone.
Seventy-one percent of study
participants said social networks don’t do enough to prevent cyber bullying.
Experts agree.
“We need to better understand the ways
in which online and offline lives co-exist today and encourage young people to
manage their online interactions safely,” Professor Ian Rivers told Ditch the
Label.
