First of all, it’s these “financial advisers”, who more often than not SHANK these pro athletes for their money. Many of them have lost a lot, trying to invest in certain businesses (i.e. former Saints running back, Deuce McCallister, lost big time bucks, when his car dealership went south).
Second, as for spending on “bling”, that happens across the board. If you think white athletes aren’t doing the same, you are on crack. How much money do you think guys like Tony Mandarich, Ryan Leaf, Lex Luger. The latter reminds me: if you want to see a laundry list of WHITE athletes who have blown their dough over the years, look at some ex-pro wrestlers.
of course white athletes have blown fortunes as well. wrestlers really arent a good example because most of them (save for a lucky few) make money for a few years...but then their life spins into a disarray of drugs, injuries, and emotional problems.
white ball players no doubt buy nice things for themselves.......but to try and argue the point that there is not a unique situation with black players is ridiculous. you see multiple stars from the 90s, not journeymen who played a few years, stars who made tens of millions...............g
oing broke. and it has to do with this culture of uber-rich super-conspicuous-consumption among young black athletes that has spilled over into the realm of professional sports from the hip-hop community.
this is not even a point that could be contended...............
..i took a course in college called "basketball and black masculinity" taught by an ultra-liberal, black activist-PHD-type guy...........and he devoted an entire part of the course to exactly this topic. this guy is a militant black dude...........and even he acknowledged that this problem is pretty rampant amongst young black athletes who quickly come into wealth
white guys typically buy a house or two, some cars.............these black players have to support whole fucking entourages......many cars, "Jew-ry" (as they pronounce jewlery), usually a couple of baby mama's......list goes on and on
hey, there is nothing wrong with acknowledging that certain problems are more prevalent among certain groups........
now for the sake of fairness i wll say somethign harsh, yet true, about whites...........almost a hundred percent of the time, molesters, pedophiles, kiddie pornographers, and general child sex offenders are white males.......so are almost all crazy shootin g spree guys, and almost all serial killers (although other races seem to be catching up)
