You're right about investment bankers for sure. Those folks are really hauling it down. Obscenely so IMO, but that's capitalism for you. The CEOs of top corporations also do extremely well. There are relatively few of them compared to most "professions" so that is also to be expected. The same for pro athletes. When you consider how many millions of American kids play sports, then how many play varsity in high school, then how many go on to play in college, then how many of those play professionally, we're talking about the tip of the tip of the tip of the iceberg. There are what, 2000 guys in the NFL? Of course they are well renumerated.

If you meant the other kind of football, I see a certain past-his-prime Englishman is headed for Los Angeles <g>. We've been down this road before and it isn't going to make soccer/football more than a niche sport in the U.S.
