I think that, they make a lot of money, but comparing with other sports professions, it's like nothing, because for example NBA players win a lot more than this. But if we're going to compare with normal persons they win a lot, and there's know explanation for this, because there are other jobs that needs more graduation than just play.

We think that they win much money because their work isn't necessary for the humanity. In addition, it is an easy work and it's unfair with people who spend all their lifes studying and working hard.

We think they earn what they deserve because is equal of the television actors who earn a lot of money to do the their job. However a lot of persons earn a lot of money because they do a perfect or next to the perfect job. We think they earn a lot of money but this is the job they do and the job gives them a lot of famous and money.

I think nobody worth it. The only thing they do is to run and kick the ball. They don´t have such a hard work. With all this money, besides giving to one soccer player, I would prefer to improve the world statistics.

I don't agree with the salary, but they practice every day. The european teams makes so much moneythat they need to spend, there are only soccer stars to spend with.

They earn the amount of money that they produces, i mean that they dont earn too much, but the less than they make with jerseys, roots, stadiums and another things that makes a lot of money. However Natalia disagree, she thinks that they earn more than they diserves and that amount would be more usefull in the security or education.

Well, we don't think they worth millions to run behind a ball. They could play well but I think there are many professions there are much more important that this one, professions that have a real importance in the society like a teacher, a doctor our a lawyer for example and they normally get a bad sallary.In addition just a little part this money that goes to this players coul be used to make the world better and help pour people.

Yes.
With this salary we could buy a lot of food to poor people.
Many people work more than soccer players and make less money.
Some players make a lot of money and they are not good in what they do.

It isn´t wrong to make a fortune because they deserve it. They make a big effort to be the best and recognized by the world.
We think they have to worth it helping ONG and poor children because if they help with a little of their money they can make a better world.

Too Much Money!!
They should donate at least 1% of it for me. Man, I'm starving here!
Well, defending my thesis, the first reason why I think they gain so much money (come on, it's a huge amont of it) it's because there are countless jobs out there that are more important than chasing after a ball like 90 minutes!! The president of Brasil doesn't make that much.
The other reason is that they could use that money more profitably. Almost half of the population in the world are starving. We are passing throught so many disasters and we don't have supplies to send to them, we need a lot more of help. They could send part of this money to defend that cause. they could donate a tiny part of what they gain with each game...
