league minimums are multiples more than the average income of normal americans.

Them not working 40 years is a misnomer if they make 40yrs of regular salary in 3-4 years.

but then you have to consider all the money they have to spend on hookers and crack to maintain their lifestyle... -- nm - znufrii Sep 25, 07:58
Sure but percentage wise, they are lottery winners. -- nm - David Sep 25, 07:56 10
- Yeah, and just like lottery winners, they are gifted far beyond the average person in their incomes. - Will Hunting Sep 25, 07:59 9
  - No. See below. - David Sep 25, 08:00 8
    - Lots of lottery winners go broke too. -- nm - Roger More Sep 25, 08:06
    - Any player making $375k a year is living multiples beyond the aveage person. They might be living stupidly, but they are bringing in 10x the average. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 25, 08:04 6
      - and their expenses are also 10X what a normal person has. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 25, 08:10 5
        
        Not really -- their expenses are what they want them to be. - Will Hunting Sep 25, 08:13 4
        
        MOST people spend in relation to their salaries. - groiny Sep 25, 08:15 3
        
        That's becuase they are bad with money; not that they don't earn enough to last a lifetime. - Will Hunting Sep 25, 08:16 2
        
        this just tells me that the NFL intro to the league for rookies is not working. - groiny Sep 25, 08:22 1
        
        I think it's pretty hard for it to work - the pressure on NFL players to spend their money must be pretty intense. - Roger More Sep 25, 08:29
