Cam Newton says people have NO idea how much of a $120 million NFL contract players actually keep. 😳💸
Using Amon-Ra St. Brown's $120 million extension, Cam broke down where the money really goes.
From his $30 million yearly salary:
- $11.1M — Federal taxes
- $900K — Agent fees
- $890K — Jock tax
- $703K — FICA/Medicare
- $637K — Michigan state tax
That leaves about $15.7 million before everything else.
Then come the people expecting handouts.
> “Parents… gimme.”
> “Homeboys… gimme.”
> “Homegirls… gimme.”
> “Family members… gimme.”
Cam says players also end up paying for luxury suites, tickets, and countless other expenses.
@lomaxx The fundamental problem with American politics is that people who vote Republican figure this is an example of either being rich or who the “tax the rich” crowd is interested in having pay their fair share
@FmrRepMTG Just know that you're evil too, and you enabled this. Good news is that you & Trump will both have eternity to burn in hell while discussing (kidding, god isn't real).
