I don't think they are underpaid... It's the football that pays too much to the athletes... Why I say this? Well, how many engineers/doctors and others that have high responsibility jobs (that are responsible for peoples life's and safety or even for people's jobs...) are earning +1million? Still, for some of these professionals, if something goes rong, they may just lose their freedom (prison) or at least their job FOR LIFE. Plus, most of them had to invest a lot in their education and spend a lot of time studying to become what they dream to be while these athletes were already living their job/dream (instead of going through a very long and demanding process to finally start to race...) You can say there are only a few athletes with this level and for that reason they should be valued... Sure but more than those professionals that are responsible for your life or your job? The pressure these athletes feel is only regarding their career, not others lifes or for instance, if their brand goes bankrupt... ;)

@corail534 жыл бұрын
Gwinn makes a great sum of money for how tiny and niche the sport is. The audience for DH racing is super small so there is less products to advertise and sell (not to mention their cost). Not many people are going to watch a race and then go spend 10k on a bike to be like Gwinn. The barrier to entry is high and really is dependent on where you live so it makes getting new blood in the sport harder. For those of us in the sport - we see it as much larger than it is and because we know how risky the sport is we tend to think it should be valued more but that often doesn't come across to those who aren't involved. Also there are a ton of players across the major league sports making under a million a year.
