So he would've hit .054 off the PEDs.
and gotten only 3 phone numbers of hookers in the stands instead of 5.

Alex Rodriguez’s charity gave only 1 percent of donations to charitable causes

Alex Rodriguez' woes continue. A new Boston Globe review of IRS filings by more than 50 athletes found that the charity established by Rodriguez, as well as those by other notable players, gave far less than the expected percentage of their income to actual charitable causes.

Nonprofits are generally expected to donate 65 to 75 percent of their revenues to charitable causes, with the remainder going to pay whatever expenses and, if necessary, salaries of nonprofit employees. But according to the Globe, nearly half of the 50 athletes' foundations reviewed fell below that line.

Rodriguez was not the only athlete whose foundation failed to meet acceptable giving rules, but his was certainly one of the most notorious misses. In 2006, Rodriguez teamed with Jay-Z for a charity poker tournament that helped the A-Rod Family Foundation raise $403,862. (Final reported records often differ from the "big check" as posted above because of facility use and similar expenses.) However, the IRS reported that barely 1 percent of that total reached charities: $5,000 to Jay-Z's Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund and $90 — yes, ninety dollars — to a Little League baseball team in Miami. The organization then stopped submitting financial reports to the IRS, and was subsequently stripped of its tax-exempt status.

i don't follow sports at all. from what i have read in this thread though i am amazed. so a-rod resigned with the yankees? and at 10 years? and this was recently? but wait... his hip gives him trouble & he waits and waits to just before spring training just so he can milk the yankees out of their gold?

sounds like a quality professional athelete

these are reasons many do not enjoy sports in today's day and age.

he's putting the shaft to the yankees owner

what's that old guy's name? his likeness on seinfeld? frickin hysterical. the man is eccentric as fuck

I imagine this was more of the case of whoever was running the charity ripping off the money. Not like Jayzee and aRod care about $700G. That's probably their budget for a night of blow and hookers.

Also, I'll bet just one of the watches that jZ is wearing cost more then I will make in my entire life. :x :fp:

Arod resigned after the 2007 season so he has 5 years left on his deal. The Yankees announced he needed surgery in the beginning of December so he didn't wait until just before spring training. The old guy is George Steinbrenner and he passed away in 2010 so his son Hal is running the team now.

if my math is correct, $90 to a-fraud is like 30 cents to someone earning $100,000 per year :shock:
