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?

Soccer leagues in Europe?
What percentage of their industry do creatives get?
Authors?
Song Writers? (lyrics and melody)
Screen Writers?
Actors?
