Discuss the strengths and weakness of the following arguments:
Athletes who earn multi-million-dollar salaries deserve them. Those who are so critical of these “astronomical” salaries conveniently overlook two reasons that make such salaries entirely justified. First, these athletes are supremely talented. They are able to perform better than almost everyone else, including most other athletes. Second, they have only a few short years to make their fortune, since in most cases they will have retired from professional sport by their mid-thirties. To compare their salaries with what most people earn you would have to spread athletes’ million-dollar salaries out over 40 years to make the comparison fair.
