Are jocks smarter than creatives? (Purposefully Provicative Tabloid Type 
Headline!)

What percentage of revenue (and income)  do jocks get from their leagues?

NFL?
MLB?
NBA?
NHL?

To name some US ones.

Soccer leagues in Europe?

What percentage of their industry do creatives get?

Authors?
Song Writers? (lyrics and melody)
Screen Writers?
Actors?


all the best,
