What matters in the world today is an article on Forbes.com about Tiger Woods salary. Tiger is the highest paid athlete in the world with an annual salary of $112 million. Most of this is contributed by his Nike sponsorship, but other parts come from tournament winnings and smaller sponsors. This matters because he is being rewarded for the wrong thing. He should not rake in $112 million a year just because he is really good at a sport. He, along with other athletes, should not be paid millions to show off their god given talent of athleticism. The money should go towards people who do good things for the community, like firemen and teachers. People like teachers deserve to be rewarded because they are willing to help the community and enjoy doing so. Now granted, the recent injury and scandal will put a dent in Mr. Woods income, but he will still be living near the top of the rich list.
