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 investigationrevealed 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.
