When it comes to professional sports, or even sports in general, money should not be a necessity for players to play hard. But this is becoming a big and upcoming issue is professional sports today. Athletes are demanding way to much money and the question is if they really NEED higher salaries than they already have. Here are a few ideas I have for possibly achieving security on this issue: Lower athletes salaries and higher those of fire fighters, policemen, and soldiers, but give athletes incentives for playing better. For example adding extra money to their salaries by how well their performance is throughout the year (Touchdowns, Interceptions, Catches, etc). Now instead of athletes just "wanting" more money, now they will have earn it.
