these athlete confessions are so weird to me cuz like, at first they make sense. I get the cuts and taxes and all. Then they start talking about how hard it is to "plan how you spend" life changing money and its like okay now you sound crazy
Carmelo Anthony explains why a $100,000,000 contract doesn’t make professional athletes rich for life
“$100 million… let’s not get that twisted.”
“It’s not really $100 million.”
“You’re taking 50% to 60% off the top.”
“So that $10 million becomes $5 million.”
“Then you’ve got taxes in every state you play in.”
“You’ve got a house.”
“You’re taking care of your mom.”
“You’ve got a 4% agent fee.”
“You’re not working with $10 million anymore, you’re working with $5 million.”
“That drastic lifestyle change is what messes a lot of athletes up mentally.”
“You’ve got to budget how you pay your mortgage.”
“You’ve got to budget your food.”
“$100 million is not $100 million.”
“You’re not even seeing 50% of that money.”
i think we are entering a new era in this country which we are not prepared for at all

the conspiracist in me thinks this is a government psyop to make the youth's image more unreliable and dangerous so the government will have more justification to arrest them if needed
public undergarments shop is already a vulnerable place for so many young women and the idea that men will look at them which they 100% will is UNCOMFORTABLE but these dimwit str8 women would rather stick w their bf to the hip 24/7 and invalidate other girls' negative experiences
