Professional Athlete Pay Wages, like other prices, are determined most basically by supply and demand, and this basic understanding allows for the explanation of two apparent paradoxes both dealing with large gaps between perceived value and relative cost: the gap between teacher's salaries and those of professional sports players, and the difference in price between water and diamonds. While one might be tempted to view the two gaps as of a
