	you need to accept some other answers for auto racing, I gave up after trying F1, formula 1, motor racing

	This quiz title needs to be changed. It's not highest paid athlete by country, it's highest paid athlete FROM each country. Ichiro is FROM Japan, but he makes his living in the US. Also, you may want to make it more clear in the instructions that soccer is left out.

	Fun quiz, but needs to be 2 or 3 minutes longer.

	Agree with above. Also, the listed answer should be "ice hockey" to differentiate the different types of hockey.

	Also, ESPN is insane. How do they count Craig Adams as being from Brunei and not Steve Nash as South African? Nash made $12.5 million last year, or $7 million more than Ernie Els.
