I thought "that cannot be right" but I looked into it and it really is staggering how so many athletes who made 10s of millions of dollars are now broke or in debt. Common threads are foolish spending habits, supporting freinds and family, bad investment decisions, child support, and gambling. |
Yeah the first time I heard that, i thought it was inflated numbers too. But it's actually across alot of sports. Now they have rookies attend symposiums and hear stories from other players that are broke, like a scared straight lecture. It doesnt work because majority of these guys have no real education, and they were constantly treated as they are better than others so they continue to live that lifestlye, right to the last dollar.
so sad
