4. Unit 2.04 Do professional athletes deserve multi-million dollar salaries? Can I have a volunteer to read the passage below?
Professor Kahn’s class is discussing Lebron James’s 60 million dollar contract.
“Pro basketball is a multi-billion dollar industry,” says Rachel. “A big star like Lebron guarantees fans will spend money. It’s logical to pay him a big salary.”
“But what good does Lebron James do for society?” asks Shefali. “Think about the contrast between his job and a firefighter’s job. The importance of making baskets doesn’t parallel saving lives! It should be illegal for athletes to make millions each year.”
“It shouldn’t be illegal for anyone to make millions!” says Rachel. “That’s un-American!”
“Un-American?” wonders Professor Kahn. “Let’s find out!”
