JIM THORPE IS A SUCCESFUL GOLFER ON THE CHAMPIONS TOUR,FOR GOLFERS OVER 50.HE ALSO WAS QUITE GOOD WHEN HE PLAYED ON THE PGA TOUR.BUT,NOW HE HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO A YEAR IN PRISON FOR FAILING TO PAY 2 MILLION DOLLARS HE OWED IN TAXES.IT IS UNFORTUNATE FOR HIM,BECAUSE HE SAID THAT OWNING BIG HOMES AND DRIVING FANCY CARS,AND WEARING EXPENSIVE JEWELRY WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO HIM THAN PAYING HIS TAXES.HERE IS THE GOOD SIDE TO THIS STORY,JIM THORPE IS BLACK,AND HE DID NOT PLAY THE RACE CARD AND ACCUSE THE GOVERNMENT OF BEING RACIAL.HE ADMITTED HIS BAD DEED,SAID HE WANTED TO DO HIS TIME,AND GET IT BEHIND HIM.GOOSE
