And what about Olympic athletes that have to do all sorts of fundraising/promos/side projects to pay for their training? WNBA players make more in 3 months than the average citizen does in 12 months to get to play the sport they love. They can also rake in big bucks overseas and have a great gateway to broadcasting, running camps, coaching, promo deals, etc. where they have ample opportunity to further bolster their income. Sure they aren't making millions each year, but many of these players can build a 20-30 year career and retirement out of basketball. That's pretty awesome if you ask me. [/QUOTE]
