The pundit concludes that our society values sports more than it values education. This is based on the claim that on average, athletes have a higher salary than teachers.

The pundit’s argument is flawed because it draws a broad conclusion from on a limited premise. The pundit assumes that just because teachers have lower average salaries than athletes, less money must be spent on education than sports overall. But this isn’t necessarily true. For example, there could be many more teachers than athletes, meaning education would be given a higher overall value.

The pundit just doesn’t claim that sports have educational value.

The pundit concludes that society values sports over education because athletes’ salaries are higher than teachers’. But that doesn’t necessarily follow. There could be more expenses in education than in sports overall—for example, there may be many more teachers than athletes.

This consideration doesn’t impact how much money society spends on education compared to sports, so it’s irrelevant.

The pundit is drawing a conclusion about the value given to sports versus education, so it’s not relevant to compare teachers’ salaries to those of any other professionals than athletes.

The pundit is only drawing a conclusion about a phenomenon within this society, not making a comparison with other societies.
