How might things go for you, if you got a gig that paid you nearly $2 mil over the next 3 1/2 years? And then you had to go get a real job after that? Might you not save and invest a goodly portion of that, understanding that the rest of your life you'll have to make a living as well? Wouldn't you feel like you got a real leg up in life if in your early 20's you made that much money?
You mean, if the gig was for $2mil over 3.5 years, but then the boss said, "Wait a minute. Actually, we may need to cut 25 percent of that because of this pandemic"?
Still good money, obviously, but you're then asking that individual who has trained most his life for that particular gig to pursue a "real job" with little training. Which isn't to say it can't be done, shouldn't be done, isn't reasonable, etc., but I'm hardly putting these people in the bucket of rich-guys-who-shouldn't-be-upset-at-their-fates. Yes, they are better financially situated than those facing poverty. No, they don't deserve to be classed in with NFL owners.
