Frayne, T. "The Ultimate Goal: The Almighty Buck." Maclean 's 105.6 (1992): 65. Academic Search Premier. Web. 5 Feb. 2013.
In this online article I found from Academic Search Premier, it explores various professional athletes and their annual income. It is directed towards anyone interested in sports and athletes’ incomes. I would give this source credibility because Trent Frayne was a legendary sports writer whose career stretched over 60 years. In “The Ultimate Goal: The Almighty Buck” Frayne writes about different athletes ranging from the MLB player Ruben Sierra to NHL player Kevin Lowe and their different annual salaries. He writes about how different players have different views about their salaries and who does it for the money or who does it for the love of the game. In his article, Frayne explains, “Not every athlete, thankfully, takes the spirit of competition to the bargaining table. Some have other values, such as what kind of life they want to live.” (Frayne). What Frayne is talking about is how Kevin Lowe had stayed with the Oilers for almost his entire career no matter how much money he was making. This source relates to my topic because it directly talks about specific players and their salaries. Also, since this source was written in 1992, I can even use it to compare the salaries from back then to salaries now and see how much has changed.
