    This is my topic

    Are the professional football, baseball, and basketball athletes being paid so much that the average individual or family can no longer afford to attend the games?

    There are a lot of smart people in here who know a lot about contracts, revenue. Please help dicuss this topic so I can get an idea. If anyone has links to articles please post thanks.

    Try to find something by the late Doug Pappas, because Sheehan is a moron. They might actually agree on this, but I can't stand Sheehan or the rest of the Baseball Prospectus guys.:)

    I wonder if you are taking a cms301.. or 304 something from Univ. Tx which I have taken last semester.

    That cant be a persuasive speech topic.
    Your topic should persuade someone to do something.. or quit doing something, and your topic suggest neither. Your topic is simply a yes or no question as of right now.
    sorry.. im sure this wasnt the answer u are looking for.

    Don't necessarily agree with that... cause once he forms an opinon on the topic, the paper he writes would then set out to persuade readers to his point of view right?
