Ball-whacking

Tiger Woods earns over $80 million per year. But admittedly, he's really good at hitting a ball with a stick. Really really good. I hate to think what would happen to society if everyone had to rely on people like me for all their ball-whacking needs.

Also intereting, the NBA's collective bargaining agreement specifies a minimum salary for players. http://members.cox.net/lmcoon/salarycap.htm#11 If it's your first year in the NBA, the team is not allowed to pay you less than $427K. If you're in your second year, they must pay you >$687K. It doesn't make any sense to me... what are they gonna do, abuse their employees by only paying them a few hundred thousand? Are the rookie players going to take their skills elsewhere where they can make some "real money"?
