How much do sports journalists make in a year?

That depends on a ton of factors – if they’re working at a newspaper, a sportswriter could make anything between $20-22,000 a year starting out at a small, local daily, to $75-80,000 with some experience at a major metro daily (think Boston Globe or LA Times). Staff writers at major magazines make more than the writers at even the biggest papers, but not all mags use staffers – freelance rates will vary, but it’s usually in the thousands per article, depending on length.
