Just saw SI's top 50 American paid athlete list.
I was wandering if anyone out there knew how this compares
to the worlds top soccer salaries?????

I belive it said in the magazine that Beckham would be in there if the ranking included international athletes.

I am more surprised at the omission of Donovan McNabb, who has a very high salary and a few endorsements (Campbell Soup and McDonalds come to mind), but apparently not enough of either to make the list.
