It is not even that the average corporate CEO makes as much money as
any number of professional athletes and entertainers. The average pay
of a CEO of a corporation big enough to be included in the Standard &
Poor's index is less than one-third of what Alex Rodriguez makes,
about one-tenth of what Tiger Woods makes and less than one-thirtieth
of what Oprah Winfrey makes.

But when has anyone ever accused athletes or entertainers of "greed"?

Wow. Sowell really can be ignorant, can't he?

There are many more. I got over a quarter million hits Googling
"greedy athletes".
