Maradona raises $500,000 for charity in Russian rooftop shootout

By Brooks Peck

On the roof of Moscow's largest department store, Maradona had 10 targets worth between $25,000 and $300,000 for a possible total of $1,000,000 for children's cancer charities in front of him. Animated in his attempts to focus and calls for help from a higher power, Maradona celebrated each hit as he ended up making $500,000 for the charities. Not bad at all -- and credit to him for taking the event so seriously.

Maybe next time they can just give all the money to those charities instead of leaving it up to whether a retired footballer can make a series of trick shots.
