Nike Likes Paying Millions To Guys Who Don't Get On The Field
PLAYERS: Rich Harden,  Eric Lindros,  Mark Prior,  Charles Rogers
While Nike's at it, maybe they could throw millions today at Rich Harden, Eric Lindros, Mark Prior, Payne Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Sr., Charles Rogers, and Penny Hardaway. I mean, they've all seen as much professional action as Beckham over the last year in America. Hell, for fifty bucks, I'll abandon my looming sponsorship with Keds for a chance to represent the swoosh.

    Nike should do a commercial with all of those guys in it. People would love it.

    Nike pays millions to Beckham because he brings in even more back. Kevin Durant and LeBron James signed contracts with Nike worth 60-90 million before even playing a minute in the NBA, and Nike will make that money back hundreds of times over before their contracts run out. Sports is a business, and all that matters is image. That's why Michael Vick can't get Nike to return his calls anymore even when absolutely nothing has been proven yet.

    Beckman has the number one jersey at sports authority over the last month of any athlete in any sport. Thats huge considering how small soccer is compared to the big three. I know there are lots of other outlets for football and basketball jerseys but stil this is big business.

      Yeah I bet that "Beckman" jersey is just flying off the shelves
