I have never understood why professional sports players who have a need to to out and party don’t have someone drive them. It is small money. Now this.
I forget the name but some rookie NFLer years ago decided to buy a Suzuki GSX-1000 (0-60 in less than 2 seconds) motorcycle with his signing bonus. Though the NFL contracts specifically specify that players can’t ride motorcycles or ATVs, etc. He managed to get it up to 70 in a parking lot and eff himself up, ending his brief career. Plus he had to return the signing money.
Wealth makes people think they are invincible and above the law. And they very often are. But not always.
