No offense or judgement meant to anyone if that’s your thing (to each their own). That’s just how I see pretty much all professional sports - the super bowl is just the poster child for it.

    Go be a football player then, if you have it all figured out.

    Personally, with 80% going bankrupt after 3 years, I don’t like those odds

      Because they’re basically kids who get money thrown at them in a system that encourages them to spend it on stupid shit.

      Hey bud, I would gladly work a job where I make 800k/year for a year or two and retire if I had the competences, not everyone can become an NFL player, but I sure as hell could manage their money better than most do!

        I would too. It’s just that the job you described doesn’t exist, and all I’m saying is that it’s not that simple.

        Even if it did, and there was an 80% chance I would end up bankrupt, I wouldn’t play those odds.
