I said their biggest problem is they are not working for that money so they do not know the difference between work and play.

Income is income no matter how you earn it. There are scores of retired athletes who have made fortunes from their sport and never squandered it. Jordan, O'Neal, Tarkenton, Bradshaw and Strahan come to mind................

What makes them any different from the fool athlete you are supporting who goes broke?

After all, it was a "game" to them too.........
