The telling part is when white guys get drafted they rarely ever cry tears of joy or show any real emotion...Meanwhile all these Black players acting like the old lady in church that just caught the spirit...Just lets you see the difference between coming from privilege and generational wealth where becoming a millionaire in your early 20's doesn't even move you...They don't even comprehend overcoming struggle to accomplish a dream because life has always been gravy and football isn't a "way out" its just a fun hobby...

I come from more "privilege" than the average black athlete. I was raised to have good financial acumen. I would have hard capped myself at living like i made 70K-80K and pocketed the rest. In the midwest, that's a great life.
One thing that hurts us is child support. nikkas better get that 12 step Jeter plan
