Yes, I knew I forgot probably something glaringly obvious. Another couple I missed the first time are volleyball players and MMA/UFC fighters. Tennis!

Gamers will be a decent sized industry I am sure. Think about Japan, where some of their biggest celebrities come in the form of gamers. Gamers in Japan make 6-7 figures easily. I don't know what the equivalent of say Nike sponsoring a pro-athlete would be for a gamer, but I'm sure there is something out there for them. There is always money to be thrown around.

Soccer and Golf being the most obvious, but also: boxers, arena league footballers, extreme sports athletes (think X-Games; snowboarders, bmx riders, wakeboarders, etc), olympic athletes, billiards players, poker players, and now even video gamers (and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few more).
