Did you see that not one of these athletes is an NHL hockey player? There are golfers, baseball players, race car drivers, and god dammit, even football players who play 18 regular-season games a year. Nary a jock on skates to be found.
Oh, but you say, that's just the US . Check out the International Top 20 and you'll see athletes from other sports, including racing (both car and motorcycle?) and people playing with a variety of balls: large (soccer) and small (tennis). Where are the people who play with pucks?Could it be that the hockey players are underpaid? I think not. $7 million for a loser like Bertuzzi would suggest otherwise.
I think it's just that nobody (read that is those outside of Canada) really gives a shit and that's why these bums aren't making any money with their endorsements.

And the point is?
Every intelligent being knows that "athletes" don't deserve a dime for their "skill".
However, suckers worldwide continue to pay them to live through them.
