Really, the only thing that rubs me wrong about his tweet is his perception or expectation that he will never work after football. He can get a job just like everyone else if he needs to. If he's smart he will own a house with no mortgage and be well ahead in the game of life. If he's smart, that iis. I can't remember off the top of my head which player it was, but I read an article on one Pro football player who is well into his career, and states he has never cashed a game check. He lives off his signing bonuses, workout and performance bonuses, and endorsements. He states every game check he has ever received is still in the bank. Now that's a man who is planning for the future.
On edit: went back and checked, it was Marshawn Lynch...
