Ngl it’s exhausting hearing athletes break down how their millions “aren’t really millions” after taxes and fees. 40M after taxes is still 40M.
The real issue isn’t the system, it’s lifestyle creep. Nobody told you to live like a king, buy 5 cars, or move with a 10‑person entourage. Modest is allowed.
Drew Brees in the 2010’s:
1st in passing yards (46,770)
1st in passing touchdowns (345)
1st in completions (4,170)
1st in completion % (69.5)
3rd in wins (95)
NOT on the All-Decade team 😡
