I have decided that this article did not pass the CRAAP test. Although it did meet some of the criteria, most of it was a negative answer, and in the end i would not be able to use this article in my research paper.

Things that i found to be bad about this article, is that the article has not been revised or updated, there are no links posted on the article. The authors name was "sports galore" and no where on the page did it offer the persons real name or any information about them. None of the statistics listed in the article are cited of where the author got them from, and the article is biased. It seems that the author writing this article thinks that athlets deserve to be paid as much as they are, so the whole POV on the article was writen that they should be. Not arguing both sides of it they should or shouldnt be paid as much.

Things that i found to be good about this article, was that it had no errors, it is current and up to date, the information was supported by facts, etc.

All in all this article does not pass the CRAAP test and i would not use this in my research paper.
