Throughout all of the research that I’ve done, I found that college athletes have had to quit the sport in order to find a regular job due to lack the payment. Some athletes drop out of college because of their financial status and the offer that has been given to them to go pro. And that last but not least I found out that some college athletes can’t even afford to pay the medical bills even after health care. While doing this research some things that I found extremely interesting is that I was unaware of the fact that if you are not connected with a healthcare company ambulance has the right to ignore the fact that you’re in pain and leave you to another option of transportation towards the hospital. In this research process, my thinking towards my question had deepened. Athletes not receiving currency It’s not only affecting their everyday lives but it’s also affecting their physical health. Some of these injuries can be a dire emergency if not assessed properly. And even during recovery some of the athletes can’t even afford to get the best help needed to get back on the court or field. I believe the information that I learned is very important because we watch sports every day for entertainment people all around the world love watching highlights of dunks and goals of not only pro teams but college teams as well. And the fact that they are not getting paid seems very unfair. It’s not the best feeling seeing your favorite college basketball player break his leg in an attempt to make a dunk and even after all of that work you put in all the court he still goes home with no money in his pockets for his performance. In terms of audience, I feel that as many people should know about this unfair situation as possible therefore a change can be made.
Nathaniel,
Thanks for this solid conclusion. I had hoped to see more article names and authors here. Something like: “According to Smith, college athletes often have to drop…”
