Sometimes fans also forget it's their 9-5 and many players, in all sports, have taken that approach.
Years ago, most players had to have jobs in the off season to make ends meet, excluding the few superstars. Their attitude was, I'm playing a kids game and getting paid for it!! How great is that???
Now the minimum salary for NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL, are all around the $500,000 mark.
Yet, 78% of NFL players go bankrupt 2 years after retirement, and 60% of NBA players 5 years after retirement.
