In this article we are going to explain some arguments that support the idea that athelets shouldnt be payed. We think that athletes shouldnt receive a payment for many reasons, but there are three specific reasons that we think that are the most important ones. I hope that this article really helps you to understand our point of view.
The first argument is based on the recent change that says that amateur athletes can participate on the Olympic Games. Amateurs have a secure income because they work or study, so in this case, it is not fair that they receive additional financial help. They practice the sports as a hobby, so, why should they be payed for having fun? In the other hand, professionals usually dont work. They need a payment to have a good lifestyle, but because amateurs dont receive this help, professionals shoulnt receive it either. They are the ones that choose the path of their lifes, and they should know what this implice.
Also, many people think that college athletes are treated as slaves. This is not true because they receive scholarships and many other benefits that other college students dont receive. They have more than enougth benefits, and a little bit of disipline helps, it doestn harm. In general atheltes shouldnt receive a payment.
Most famous athletes do get paid but unknown athletes usually don’t. Athletes that are not paid can’t train enough to win a gold medal in the Olympics. Also athletes that are not paid don’t have enough money to eat and be healthy for the Olympics. That’s why all athletes should get paid for their effort in the Olympics.

Why Athletes Should be Paid
Most famous athletes do get paid but unknown athletes usually don’t. Athletes that are not paid can’t train enough to win a gold medal in the Olympics. Also athletes that are not paid don’t have enough money to eat and be healthy for the Olympics. That’s why all athletes should get paid for their effort in the Olympics.
For most olympic athletes the only source of income they get comes from sponsorship but only the top well known ones get paid sufficiently. This is unfair to lesser known athletes. Athletes spend all their time training and don't have enough time to have a job so their income should come from winning medals at the olympics.
Recently some countries have started to pay money to athletes who win medals in the olympics. Canada is paying their athletes for bronze they will get 10,000, for silver 15,000, and for gold 20,000 . Other countries such as Russia and the US will start to pay their athletes as well. The prize money is a reward for all the hard work during training and besides provides financial support for olympic athletes
