Pro Athletes' Salaries

What does Singletary say that he now realizes in "Pro Athletes' Salaries Aren't Overly Exorbitant"?

• Owners and players are selfish and want to destroy sports.
• He deserves to be paid the same as his teammates.
• He refuses to give up everything to play a professional sport.
• Advertisers are unwilling to pay athletes high salaries.

Singletary supports the claim of his argument in "Pro Athletes' Salaries Aren't Overly Exorbitant" when he says that athletes

• are moving into a "more power to 'em" position
• should be happy to be paid for playing a game
• deserve to be paid as much as fans will pay
• will cause sports to be restructured

Which of the following best restates the claim of the argument in "Do Professional Athletes Get Paid Too Much?"

• Teachers' salaries should be increased.
• Society should stop glorifying athletes.
• Sports should be banned from television.
• Athletes are paid too much to play sports.

In "Do Professional Athletes Get Paid Too Much?"  Hjelm uses a single-cause fallacy in reasoning when he says that

• Kenny Anderson once complained about being unable to afford car insurance.
• people are unconcerned about the size of athletes' salaries
• athletes receive large salaries because society places too much importance on entertainment
• Babe Ruth once commented that he deserved to make more money than the president
