Professional Athletes paid too much?

Some people believe that Professional athletes in society today are overpaid for their contribution to the sport and some of them are overrated. I don't believe in this at all, I think most professional athletes are paid just the right amount of money. People who aren't professional athletes hear about how much these teams pay their players over the course of a few years and they think it's ridiculous.What these non-athletes don't realize is that these professional athletes won't be able to play the sport they love for very long before the sport starts to take a toll on their body and age and younger more athletic players catch up to them. These professional athletes are lucky if they are able to make it playing in the competitive world of sports for a decade, then their career is pretty much over. These athletes then have to change their whole career path that they've been working for their entire life, for some athletes the sport they play is the only thing they are really good at in life. Imagine if you worked your whole lifetime to get your dream job and then a couple of years later you are let go from this job and had to find a completely different career path, doesn't sound like fun does it? The money that these athletes make in their short career is most of the time the money that they will have to live on for their rest of their lives to support themselves and their family. When you take in account how short professional athletes' careers are, do you really think that they get paid too much?
