No offense or judgement meant to anyone if that’s your thing (to each their own). That’s just how I see pretty much all professional sports - the super bowl is just the poster child for it.

    A shocking amount of them don’t know how to manage that amount of money either. Most end up broke within 10 years, most are destitute by retirement. Many get caught up in the lifestyle, blow the money never thinking about once they’re done, and then their careers end all of a sudden without any fanfare.

    First thing I’d do if I were hired? Talk to an accountant.

      Whenever I get signed for anything over 50k I’m talking to an accountant, or banker at the very least.
