When a kid puts on his first helmet he dreams of playing in the NFL, when he commits to a college he dreams of making NFL money, when he gets into the NFL and he finally realizes that neither the NFL or the NFL money will last as long as he would like he focuses on the only thing he can change... The money.


We are deluded to believe that when they take the field, money is in the top two reasons.

Alvin's net worth is 10 million at the age of 29. If he lives to be 70 that's $243,902/year. Factor in inflation and the raising cost of living and that's not very much at all.

It is a business and for the players it is the business of their families future. I do not fault them for getting all that they can.... Everybody else is.

We would be deluded (those of us in the real world) to think that someone worth $10 mil at age 29 is going to struggle for the rest of his life to secure their families’ future… while we (some of us) break our a$$ all week for a fraction of what AK makes, to secure our families’ future. When I factor in inflation, I have to work harder. When he factors in inflation, he has to demand or expect more money, while running softer. We would be deluded to think that that mindset is going to factor into a more enjoyable football experience for us on the weekends.

Ever heard of Deuce McAllister? Retired at 34 after making +/- 70MMin the NFL.

Today at 45 years old he’s with around 150k at best. That is the REAL world whether you like it or not.

Some of these players come from families that never saw 6 figure income before them and won’t see it after. They are the only shot at generations not needing a scholarship for an education. You might be angry about them getting what they can when they can but I’m not.

Looks like you’re more of a fan of celebrity financial independence, and less of a fan of BEAST MODE FOOTBALL. We’re different, but if that’s the prevailing trend, game has indeed changed.

Bro, you're starting to sound like someone jealous of celebrity financial independence and I don't think that's who you are.

Looks like you.. umm...make **** up as you go. have system 1 cognitive bindless.. do not understand what I have said.

It is the players obligation to go after every dollar he can using every tactic he can because Loomis is going to take away every dollar he can using every tactic he can. Some people can not separate the entertainment industry side from the business side.

Football as a sport ends in college probably high school.

...even beating on innocent people and subsequently charged with assault and battery. give me a break. AK is a thug and should not even be playing in the NFL.

1. That is a deflection.
2. Thug - (noun) a violent, aggressive person, especially one who is a criminal. ("especially" does not denote a requirement).

Take all the thugs (violent and aggressive players) off the field and you may.. may.. be able to put 11 kickers on the field, providing they play both ways.. Which episode of The Twilight Zone do you live in? Football is a gladiator sport
I do not give two sh**s whether you like him or not, I don't know the man to like or dislike him. What I do know is that the league created and supports the situation where players do what he is doing. Don't like it... Go visit RG.
