[QUOTE="cheesey, post: 169719, member: 419"] I know what you mean Zombie. But as far as them dieing young, wasn't Walter Payton from cancer, and White also died from not football related things? My Dad died at 44, my brother at 43. People from all types of work die early. And neither my Dad or Brother left a few million dollars behind to keep their familys protected. We barely got by. I know millionaires have bigger expenses, but they make more in the 3 or 4 year carreer then most people who, like i said, work their butts off for 50 years in a stressful job. My Dad was a foreman at a printing factory. He had a massive heart attack at 44. You think his job didn't take years off his life? He would get called in the middle of the night, and have to go down to fix whatever the second or third shift screwed up. Almost all jobs take years off your life if ANY stress is involved. But very few pay what pro players get. Plus, if a player went to college and got a degree, whats to stop them from getting a "real" job if they did in fact only last 3 or 4 years in the NFL? They STILL have more opportunities then the average person. Yes, football is dangerous. As we saw with the horrible injury to the Bills player a few weeks back. But "real" jobs are dangerous too. A man my Dad worked with got his arm stuck in a printing press and had it torn off. Another man he worked with got part of his.......(if you are a man, you know what) torn off when he was leaning into a press to clean the upper spinning drum. There is danger in most jobs. But few pay like pro sports do. [/QUOTE]
