Instructions (in French)
Rémunération des sportifs : un débat
Document 1 :
Les revenus élevés des sportifs de haut niveau suscitent des interrogations. Chaque année, ils touchent des sommes énormes grâce aux contrats publicitaires, et l'on se demande si cela respecte les valeurs de partage du sport. Pour beaucoup de gens, c'est inadmissible, surtout en période de chômage.
Document 2 :
Les salaires des sportifs divisent : seuls les meilleurs deviennent professionnels, mais cela justifie-t-il autant de richesse ? Certains soutiennent que ces joueurs sont mieux payés parce que leur carrière est courte et que leur talent est rare.The prompt opens in the editor, with a word counter and an accent keyboard.
