Tiger Woods was the top earning athlete in America, hauling in $128M last year. He was followed by another golfer, Phil Mickelson. Most of the athletes on the list were African-American, including Shaquille O'neal, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett and others.
Most of the athletes who earned the top money reached that spot through celebrity endorsements. For example, of the $128M earned by Tiger Woods, only about $22M of that was earned by playing golf. Wow, now we understand why they are so politically castrated!
One can wonder if the days of a Muhammad Ali will ever come back, or Jim Brown, athletes who actually used their power for a cause. Not in this America, not anytime soon.
The rest of the list is here
