This is false.

<u>Professional athletes generally love and glorify the sport they practice, however, sport for these people </u><u>is a profession like any other</u><u>. </u>These people become professionals and their livelihood comes from sports activity. This is important to ensure that athletes are dedicated and concerned exclusively with their performance in the sport.

Note: Some sports are well-paid, such as football, basketball, golf and tennis, making their practitioners reach fortunes.

Economic system in which the factors of production are owned by the government
Hitman42 [59]

This economic system is called<em> socialism.</em>

Socialism is an economic system where everyone in the society equally owns the factors of production. The ownership as such is in the hands of the<em> government</em> that controls all means of production and distribution of goods.

The factors of production are : land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship.

In a socialistic economy, the land is owned by the state and private property is limited and difficult to obtain. Labor is heavily regulated and most people are employed in state-owned companies. Workers do not have many rights and they have to obey the government which also decides what is being produced and in which capacity ( planned economy ).

Socialism does not reward people for being entrepreneurial and competitive as competition is no existing and everybody reaps the same benefits of their work.
