Is there something wrong with this sentence ? Dear all,
Is there something wrong with this sentence ?
It has been argued that it is totally unfair that athletes earn much more money than professionals who succeed in other vital fields.
Many thanks

Teacher Re: Is there something wrong with this sentence ? Grammatically it's fine, but it does suggest that people believe that athletes are professionals in a 'vital field'. This idea can be removed if you use 'more' instead of 'other'.

Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
