[QUOTE="sschind, post: 947026, member: 10247"] No ****. I mean give me 250K I'd quit my job tomorrow and set myself up in a business in an industry that is growing by leaps and bounds (from my perspective) and I'd be happy. Its an unrealistic comparison. First of all I find it very difficult to believe that anyone could not survive just as well on 10 million dollars a year as they could on 15 or 20. On the other hand it is not inconceivable that the your in your scenario needs every penny to survive. In that situation the "your" would be placed in an extremely difficult position if he were to be asked to take less money. Then you have to look at why you are doing that job in the first place. If its for the money then yeah the players should be honest and take every dime. If he says its because he wants to win a championship he should know that if he is paid 20 % of all the team has to spend there is less money to get better, albeit lesser than him, talent to try to help insure that this happens. When you Boss asks you to take less just to give it to other people what is the advantage to you? If it helps get better people around you, even though they are less skilled than you are, and that helps the company grow so you can make more money then maybe you would take less. If its just so the boss can make more money then probably not. If its just so others can have more then probably not. It all depends on if there is a benefit to you or what is important. If you ask me personally I would say no because I know that even if they took money from me and gave it to other people there would be no benefit for me. That and I can barely survive on what I make the way it is. Now if I were making 10 times what I am and the boss came to me and said if you only took 2/3 of what you are making we would be able to hire some people that would allow us to do this or that with the company and the result would be something that was important to me who knows I might consider it. I have no sympathy money wise for any person with enough talent to even be considered for an NFL practice squad. It may not be set you up for life but I only know 1 person personally who I know makes more than the lowest PS player. that 4 year journeyman if he starts his career in 2022 and plays 4 years at league minimum he will have been paid at least 3.66 million in those 4 years. I know taxes and stuff like that but we all pay those. They will still take home more in their playing days than the vast majority of people will over that same period. No, they won't be set for life but neither are most people who work for 4 years. We might also realistically assume that most of them got a free education that they could presumably fall back on. Perhaps they might be able to use some of the money they did receive to set themselves up in a business or career that will support them. Some get injured and may have difficulty for the rest of their lives. Those I do have sympathy for. I'm sure there are some that fall victim to a variety of schemes or addictions or what have you that prevent them from utilizing their assets to their fullest but that doesn't mean they didn't have the opportunity. Then there are probably those who are just to stupid to survive on their own. All in all if a person has the talent to be placed on an NFL practice squad for the most part that person has more advantages financially than most people have and I won't be shedding a tear for them.
