Long time Phoenician!
Ichiro Suzuki had donated $1.23 million -- 7% of his salary this year -- to the relief efforts in Japan.
How I wish that some celebrity would start a charitable organization within our country (all year round) for sports and entertainment figures to donate portions of their extremely bloated salaries to charities such as cancer and heart research, AIDs, education, etc.
Mediocre sport figures, for example, earn more for one game than many teachers, cops or firemen earn in a year while providing much more needed services.
That is evidently not going to change. So they keep their status seeking salaries but, at least, put it to good use.
It is still being channeled from us, who have a need to be entertained during these times of the elimination of the middle class. But at least it will go to good causes.
