Clinton Portis owes his mom $500k, $5 million in total debt

Why is this something that we need to know?

And why is something like this allowed to be put out there. This is not journalism, the lack of respect for people's life is so disgusting.

Bankruptcies are public filings. It's always news.

It still dont need to be news, come on now. We all go through our shytt, let the man deal with his problem.

This type of shytt reflects so bad on our society.

I hear what you're saying, but it's unrealistic. Anyone whose name is "newsworthy" will always get a mention from a bankruptcy.

Because he made them filthy rich?

He didn't make them filthy rich though.

It was their talent and naivety that allowed him into their lives, and enabled him to make money off of them.

They hired him in particular to maximize their value

I remember this nikka had a personal stylist and shyt . I'll never understand how folks who come frm nothin make millions and go broke. Just cuz u got it don't mean you gotta spend it

That makes it much easier to understand.

Many of the these players come into the league as 21-23 year old country boys/hood type dudes, who never grew up with any trustworty adults to teach them the basics of personal finance, and makes them easy targets for users and swindlers.

Damn, only $1000 a month for a sideline reporter?

Think a casino in Alabama will be profitable brehs

If it aint Roll Tide football, you defitnely taking L's in anything in regards to the state of Alabama

 

[Rell84shots]

Maybe because they came from nothing, never learned how to be financially responsible, felt obligated to take care of folks who got them there and "new" family, raped by shady financial advisors, shark agents, etc.......

I'll never understand why fans care so strongly about an athletes bank account when half of them talk this "how you fukk up lifetime money" when they themselves are living check to check

That should be even more of a reason to be cheap with your money, when you know what it's like to struggle it should make you more responsible.

I've said it before, but colleges need to provide some mandatory classes to all student athletes on finance..even if its 5-10 basic courses, they can major in African American studies or whatever but atleast have a little financial literacy from your college "education"

Think a casino in Alabama will be profitable brehs

Actually, it will be immensely profitable.... The casino got shut down due to legalities that the wall street broker thought they could work around...... about 30 NFL players had invested in that casino.....

The wall street broker that was the head of all this eventually got banned from the securities industry
