Professional Athletes are working men and women, just like the rest of us. When of us is injured on the job, we have the right to collect workers compensation to compensate for our medical bills and lost wages.  Athletes  are entitled to the same rights as the rest of us.  However, sports athletes are more at risk for career ending injuries than the rest of us.
