We're in the post-capitalism state now in which every single thing that was set up for the good of society as a whole--schools, hospitals, public health systems, public works, infrastructure (roads, bridges, sewer systems, water systems,..) is either failing, or on the verge of failing, with absolutely no money available for maintenance or replacement.
Why?
Because we've accepted the idea that a person is entitled to whatever he/she can get, and everyone else had better keep their filthy hands off.
How's that workin' out for us?

A lot of players do have foundations they have set up for their pet causes. Jeter has the Turn 2 Foundation..
Michael Jordan has donated over $100 million to various cause and has a foundation. Hank Aaron, Gerritt Cole, Carlos Delgado among others.
So at least some of that greed does some good somewhere...
