[QUOTE="Zombieslayer, post: 169718, member: 627"] Well, football players I do feel they deserve it. Other sports, no. Here's my reasoning. The average football player who even "makes it" only plays 3 or 4 years. He'll often end up with over a million lifetime in hospital bills (which we all know Medicare won't cover). Plus, football takes years off your life. We all know how many football players died prematurely. Two of my favorites were Reggie White and Walter Payton. You're older than they are. Yeah, I still loved Payton even though he was a Bear. Payton was a good man. Plus, their tax rate is at around 40%, plus they have to pay their agent, their attorneys, their accountants, and their financial planner. At the end of the day, one million a year for four years isn't that much. I guarantee you that there will be quite a few people who read this thread who thirty years from now will have more net worth than your average football player who "made it." Sure, not as much as Michael Strahan, but more than your average football player. [/QUOTE]
