They are all reputable until they get caught right?
Let's be real about the sports guys for a second. Most of them have been pampered since at least high school some even since junior high. The coaches make sure they pass, pat them on the head and live their dreams out through them vicariously. A fair amount of the players aren't well educated at all because the people around them only cared about how well they played. In some cases even their parent(s) were down with the exploitation because they only saw dollar signs. In 2014 these guys can play for colleges which makes millions of dollars and they never see one single penny. If they are lucky they get drafted and finally they have all this money in their faces. You think they wont sign whatever is placed in front of them to get it? After all those years of free labor since high school or junior high? They are already in debt by the college and they see their parent(s) getting older right in front of them. You don't think the coach who has always been like a father figure to them doesn't pat them on the head, congratulate them and tell them to sign? Most of the coaches themselves aren't that bright either because they came through the same system of exploitation themselves. You don't think the system has sharks in place ready to get every bit of that money right back? We get mad when they marry becky but when they look on the sides-lines all they see is becky with her legs wide open doing splits and handstands and ish. I believe that's initially done as well...........
that's cool in 1975... it's 2014
how many espn docs you need to see?? how many sport illustrated stories you need to read?? how many times you cruising the internet and see another rapper/athlete broke?? or in jail for tax problems.. or on the news for tax problems? or getting jerked
yes the system is set up to target the blind.. but once you become a grown man, shyt even by like 16.. you should already know "hey i want to play in the nfl and i'm already varsity and getting recruited... MAYBE i should start looking into who's never been fukked over, and see how they did it"
this is like the rg3 thing... you got vets of either game, trying to teach these youngings how not to fukk up.. they ignore them, say i got this, then get fukked... then want to turn around and blame somebody
nah homie you over 18 right?? they hand you a big ass contract the size of a dictionary.. nothing in your brain said, maybe i should read this, or have someone read this, just in case i'm being fukked here??
and with athletes, your point doesn't even make sense... most athletes don't get fukked.. they have unions and player reps and all the resources available to not get fukked... most athletes just blow their money
it's the rappers who get fukked.. and that's because they don't read the contract and/or don't care about reading the contract and/or hired the first person in the phone book... instead of doing their research
it's 2014... artists been complaining about getting fukked for damn near 100 years now.. and everybody knows it... and yet people still sit down and do the same thing.. you think they don't know?? yes they know.. they don't care.. they want the fame and the 500k advance.. they don't even care they getting fukked till the money runs out.. then it's "oh it's THEIR fault that I signed a fukked up deal that I never read"
i wouldn't sign a damn car loan without reading it
