I'm biased, but I agree lol. Of course salaries in respective sports are determined by the popularity of the sport, but if you want to base salaries in terms of toughness and what the athletes go through, I'm going to say ice hockey is on top. Football is not far behind though.

Well if you want to throw in all these different sports, than Rugby should be up there too.
I personally don't think athletes should be getting paid as nearly as much as they do. Especially Tiger Woods, basketball players, and baseball players. I agree they should be paid in the low millions but I am sorry Tiger Woods does not deserve half of what he makes, he hits a fricken ball into a hole... However, a lot of his money is endorsments and advertising so I guess its different.

You don't understand how the PGA works do you? If Tiger wasn't so dominate he wouldn't make all that money, in golf your earnings are based on your performance. If any athlete deserves the money they make than it's Tiger Woods.

If any athlete deserves the money they make than it's Tiger Woods. I know that I am saying there shouldn't be as much money at stake in golf in the first place. Not denying his immense talent, he should be looked up to, idolized, but not paid as much as he is. Think about it, he is hitting a ball into a hole.... Say that to yourself out loud, you see the ridiculousness, and it will make sense. But damn is he amazing at it.

When he broke out people everywhere started golfing. He brings in the huge crowds at the events and is directly responsible for all the young talent that is now emerging on the tour. I am a fan of all sports but think most athletes are overpaid, maybe Tiger's endorsement deals are silly but that is really Nike's fault, his tour earnings are justified.

I guess I'm attacking golf in general then.
