Sports = Major Paydays
June 5, 2007Take a look at these lists…
Sports Illustrated’s Fortunate 50 (US list)
Sports Illustrated’s International 20 List
I don’t think it’s any surprise that the elite level athletes are making some great money… but do you really think you know how much??
Do I think they get paid too much? Sure I do. But I also give them kudos for figuring out a way to work the system such that they can get paid those large sums of money in our society. Who pays? We (the consumers) do… by buying the endorsed products, by visiting the sports events, etc. Whether it’s worth it or not is purely a personal decision…
