A-Rod Charity Not So Charitable

Alex Rodriguez' not-profit charity was discovered to have given far less of its income to charitable causes, according to a Boston Globe review of 50 athletes. In this report, a 2006 charity poker tournament organized by Rodriguez and rapper Jay-Z raised $403,862 for the A-Rod Family Foundation. IRS reports indicate that just $5,000 of that total went to Jay-Z's Shawn Carter College Fund however, and a measly ninety bucks went to a Miami Little League team. The report says "the organization then stopped submitting financial reports to the IRS, and was subsequently stripped of its tax-exempt status."
