He said the average career of an NFL player is only three years and while they may be getting paid $500K or $1M, the vast majority of them have spent that money up front on things they had never been able to afford before. Considering only half that check survives taxes they will all be in a major bind if they don't play. They said that unwillingness of players to play would not be a reason behind losing games.

They discussed this very subject on NFL Radio. The discussion came about when Malcolm Jenkins' interview was mentioned where he said he wouldn't want to play unless he felt safe. They said he was among the handful of NFL players that have been able to place themselves in a financial position to be able to forgo game checks. I believe it was the former Tampa Bay GM, Mark Dominik, that said unfortunately almost all the others players live up to those checks.

Have you ever seen the documentary BROKE? They actually focused primarily on NBA (fully guaranteed contracts) players losing their earnings so there is definitely credence to your statement as it relates to NFL players.

Blew my mind.

I can quite possibly see the 2020 NFL season continue ... but without fans . The LaLiga (top professional Spanish soccer league) does it now. Kind of weird seeing that at the top level of European football however there are plans to bring back the fans (possibly at towards the end of the year) at some point with restrictions of course.

Is that what you want? To be surrounded by tens of thousands of white millennial's crawling out of their mothers basement to pretend to care out of guilt or their need to be part of a collective because they weren't accepted by the cub they wanted in High School and will forever be bitter and angry about it.

Id rather everyone stop pretending so we can see where we truly are.

I'm with you. I think you might have missed where my post was directed. It was directed at the post right before mine.

It doesn't matter how much you make, for most people, your costs eventually rise to parallel your income.

... Within 30 days of furloughs and paycuts, more than 80% of my office complex were borrowing against their 401Ks.

Burning money is not a racial thing, its a humanity thing, its a society thing that isnt resident with in any one culture. .

I see we aren't even trying to hide the bigotry.

I guess not, when we're accusing ALL police of being evil, and telling others they're "privileged" because of the color of their skin. Sounds like hate to me. So does beating random people in the street and burning their business. I never gave a damn what color people are.

I didnt describe anything you dont see in every rap video- and these guys are proud of the image. But who confines this to a race? Im sure Asian players are livin large too.

Dont try to scare me with a word. Im not a corporation.
