I'm not suprised. I think I feel sad that I'm not suprised by this.

That's just not right.

That's not right. I don't find it hard to believe though.

thats really sad

CyberGwen ! Aug 11, 2008, 3:33pm EDT

Yikes!

In a way, this is our fault. (The consumers) We clamor for products with his name on it, which leads to him being worth paying that much for by Nike. It is sad.

Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Aug 11, 2008, 3:40pm EDT

Some how that doesn't surprise me....But I don't buy his products. I can't afford them.

Now that is truly a damn shame.

Isn't it a shame that Americans are getting rich off of the underpaid workers. It's also a great shame that Americans are doling out work to foreign countries just to make more money for their own benefit.

that stinks! it's just like Tiger Woods earned more to have his picture on each box of Wheaties than the farmers got for growing the wheat that was in the cereal

I'm not surprised. How does that saying go "The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer"

reply to this comment

David W. Aug 11, 2008, 4:59pm EDT

It may stink, but that's how the world works. It wouldn't if we were not so celebrity crazy and didn't buy the stuff. We are responsible nto the guy who takes the cash.

Adele G. Aug 11, 2008, 5:23pm EDT

It's sad but certainly not surprising.

I don't buy much Nike stuff to be honest, but this fact does not surprise me in the least.

reply to this comment

Chick J. Aug 11, 2008, 6:39pm EDT

Different prices around the world. I think if someone in Malaysia had one tenth of Micheal Jordon pay , he would be one of the richest people in his country. While Michael Jordon isn't even in the top 1000 of our country.

Randall C. Aug 11, 2008, 7:31pm EDT

that doesn't surprise me. He probably makes more in one month than they make all year

Doesn't surprise me either. It's horrible, of course, but that doesn't surprise me in the least.

That's absolutely obscene!

That is terrible! I wonder if Michael Jordan is aware of this fact.
