11/17 Summary: "Opinion: Who's to blame for athletes' salaries? We are"
From Newsela
(Summary)
This article explains readers (apparently kids) why professional athletes make a lot of money as contract money. One of the reasons is that media companies pay the teams billions of dollars for the right to broadcast the games on television, knowing so many people want to watch the games. Another reason is that the teams make a profit by selling products with the team logo. In the end of the article, the author suggests to readers that they should play outside or read a book, instead of stopping watching the games or buying the products by making them realize that they help pay their salaries.
