i kinda feel bad for the rookie athletes that make minimum level salary

[MikelArteta]

yeah man i feel so sorry for them, let me take some of my 5 figure salary and help them out

 

[MikelArteta]

yeah lets all feel sorry

The Tax Policy Center in Washington, D.C., a joint venture of the Urban Institute and Brookings Institution, runs an economic simulation model that shows the top 1 percent of earners in 2009 made $503,086. TPC projects $516,633 as the cutoff for the top earners in 2010 and $532,613 for 2011.

nikkas ae just outside of that 1 percent, and with endorsements etc. im sure they are in that 1percent

 

[MikelArteta]

Any yet, them dumb rookies would go get a big piece of jewelry, a $200k whip, mortgage
a million dollar home and get a stripper pregnant.

Now, a dumb nikka is in debt b4 his rookie season ends

nikkas are dumb, i think during the nba draft they showed like 60% of dudes drafted even 3 years ago are out of the nba already

 

[jwinfield]

yeah lets all feel sorry

Is that before taxes?

 

[The War Report]

Teams can't be competitive overpaying unproven rookies.

 

[PortCityProphet]

We got whole families out here living on 20k a year and you feel sorry for these nikkas

I'm not feeling sorry for any motherfukker getting paid to play football. There are very few places on the planet where that shyt is even a skill.

 

[mozichrome]

yeah, fukk'em

 

[FAH1223]

I'd happily make the minimum salary and still live a nice comfortable life.

Kevin Ollie should be nikkas inspiration.. he was making the minimum for over a decade and a half.

 

[Brandon M.]

i porobably worded the title wrong, i just was trying to show its more than meets the eyes when it comes to some athlete salaries, fukk them

few?
only in america

95% of cflers make 5 figures, a few make six figures, and a few mainly qbs make like 300, 400k

 

[gho3st]

best thing you can do as a rookie is go undrafted sign a 1-2 year deal and Ball the fukk out...

 

[Digital Dre]

Sam Bradford is somewhere laughing at this thread

 

[Kimo_bud]

fukk them nikkas

 

[Ohene]

Come on guys, they only take home 400k+ after taxes




And most of us aren't getting paid 400k after taxes. Most of us aren't working jobs where 400k after taxes is considered lower bracket.

that 409K is the amount that is taxed.
