Shannon Sharpe on sports players who go broke: "You are not above a 9-5 job"

[Geek Nasty]

Says the man who gets paid millions to talk about sports knowing he will never have that struggle.

So, they SHOULD have committed medical fraud? Like SS said, fraud makes it harder for people with legitimate claims to collect.

EDIT: some of you dudes have this strange "get rich or die trying" mentality I don't get. And somehow you morally excuse every grimey scheme you get into to get there no matter who you're fukking over. Like how most of that HBCU thread cheered on the dude embezzling money from other black students.

Have no issue with what he said . Couldn’t find a video link but I assume he kept the same energy when the NFL players got caught up

He got on Clinton Portis for the same shyt.

Meanwhile you have average thots on Onlyfans making 20k+ a week just by showing their naked bodies online


This whole system is fukked; can’t wait for the day I leave this mfer

It's not a "system". It billions of individual transactions, sometimes with no rhyme or reason. No person or organization says "pay e-thots more than teachers!! Mwahaha!"

 

[Magic Mulatto]

Nikkas disappoint the shyt out of me

Says who

Gigs out here can be lost in a heartbeat especially in this day and age of cancel culture.

Cancel culture isn’t a thing. If you make your company look bad you’re going get fired for violating their policies. That’s not cancel culture that’s people being stupid and suffering consequences for it

Says the man that makes 9484949 excuses and blames everyone else for his failures and depression

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

"Did he keep same energy With the NBA playeRa???"


Who gives a shyt?

 

[RennisDeynolds]

I still don't understand if you a hot athlete making millions and go broke?!? Don't they understand 401k Roth IRA, money mgmt, stop living above ya means, make prenups
Ive been broke all my life and I cannot fathom loosing millions

When you are supporting your entire family (10+) with homes and vehicles not to mention the entourages, shyt get dicey

 

[GreenGhxst]

Be honest about your talent level and earning potential

Some of these players are journeyman and they can't be honest with themselves about it

So they end up balling out for the first few years knowing damn well their work ethic ain't built for that lifestyle

Be smart with your money, especially if you aint the guy

 

[Godless Socialist CEO]

Did your friend mention the mostly jewish agents and financial planners who have these dudes sign power of attorneys and then collude with in house accountants and lawyers to "legally" rob them of those millions? And then have them sign NDA's on top of that so they can't talk about it?

I doubt it, cause I never hear any of them mentioned when stories like these come up.

This is just dumb. Imagine being so brain poisoned the internet you start blaming the Jews for former athletes going broke... wtf

That means he played his cards right

Especially coming where he came from

If anybody can speak on that topic, Shannon should be allowed too

 

[I love Latina women]

He’s right

Shannon came up struggling, breh. This was the crib he grew up in.

He just had enough sense to set himself up for his career after sports.

There's no excuse because some of these dudes were setup nicely in their post-NBA career. Darius Miles had a successful podcast with Knuckleheads, Shannon Brown was married to Monica, Sebastian Telfair could've made bread with his cousin Starbury in China and lived like a king.

2/3 of all athletes go broke after they retire and most of it is their own doing. Instead of getting a job in the media, coaching, trainer, entrepreneurship, entertainment, etc. Hell, open up a weed shop in Cali like A.I. did. We live in an era where it's probably the easiest for a former athlete to transition into his post-NBA career, but they chose to try to finesse the league, which is eventually a losing battle.

Shannon ain't even talking about just NBA players, but athletes in general. Clinton Portis just got busted too for the same thing.

You shouldn't even need a post career if you're a highly successful athlete. The problem is that a lot of these athletes get guilted into taking care of everyone. They end up paying the bills for 5 different households, while also living a superstar lifestyle. The real key is to live modestly when you're on top, that way when it's over you'll have the bulk of your money still in your bank account.

I don't know about "jews" but if you mean shady agents? Hell yeah. Look at how TO got fukked over on his TV contracts and Tim Duncan had and agent/manager-ish a$$hole just forge a check for $10 million. Lots of athletes get fukked over same as musicians. There are also athletes who fukk up their own money. Both things can be true at the same time.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

LMAO!! Coli nikkas are too good for $15-$20 jobs but former millionaires should jump at the chance. Yall wild

Instead, try and scam your former employer and go to jail brehs

nikkas rather be seen in prison than Home Depot
