What does being an athlete have to do with anything?
Because you go from nothing, because you live in the hood, to being worth tens of millions of dollars and an eighty room mansion with hanger-ons.
You’re the big man, so you spend big on yourself and your hanger-ons. Then you’re broke in the end.
That’s how I see this mayor. She’s become the big woman, so she takes her hanger-ons on fancy trips and spends millions of dollars on her and her people.
