So yeah, I don't know what you mean by "making a living", that's what you do, that's not what they do. If you're talking 20 million vs. 24 million, that's crazy to leave to a place where you wouldn't win a ring. I get it, if you put money ahead of a ring, maybe we would do the same if we were in that situation, but don't say "make a living", that's a joke. Some make more in a year or two than you or I will make in our lifetime lol, and we "survived" and made a living for our family.
Maybe it's not "negative" but you've got players playing for money instead of a ring, especially when they will have earned "enough" otherwise. I guess I respect those players less because at the end of the day nobody cares about how much you made, they do count the rings you got. The funny part is if you get a ring, you can make more money.
How much money did Jordan make, how many rings did he get? Money matters I get it, it's probably why aaron rodgers wants so much money when only been to 1 SB. He's basically committing a crime. Imagine being the owner, paying him 50 million a year the next 4 years, and not resulting in another ring. Aaron should hold that title now because Burrow is coming for that "most money ever" contract lol.
Players on CJ's level are striving to make life changing money for not only themselves, but their families. When they say 20 million, in reality after taxes and agents etc it's probably more like 10. You can't blame a player at that level for taking the best financial deal, though 10 mil in NY is nothing compared to 10 mil in Cincy, but we don't even know if Cincy made him an offer to stay. Players on Rodgers level are a different story. They strive to be paid the most in comparison with other players at their position. It's an ego thing.
