Pro Sports and Athletes.

I'm done, finished, no more will I spend a dime of my money, what little I have left, for jokers to live like kings! This is just a sample of one athlete and some of what he does with the money you all give him to play a game, yes a game that means jack shit to most Americans! So you go and buy that jersey, buy that ticket, have a beer and a dog and a part of all that hard earned money goes for things like this fellow below does! I'm leaving this dudes name blank, but one thing to note is he's by no means one of the top paid players in his sport or any other, this is a just above average kid from the projects taking care of himself and leaving his past behind.

There's a lot about how ______ spent his money, based on her understanding of the household finances: "he states he makes 1.5 million per month," read the notes. _______ lavished plenty on their ________ home, dropping $100,000 on landscaping, $5,000 a month for housekeepers, $675 "per car" washing, and $1 million for his back yard and pool grotto. His sharks are expensive: $5,000 a month to feed them and $1,500 for a keeper to drive from Columbus to take care of them.
He is extravagant when it comes to toys for the children -- ages 5, 4 and 2 -- buying a $60,000 train set and an $8,000 toy Mercedes-Benz electric car, and dropping between $30,000 and $40,000 during a shopping spree at FAO Schwartz.

This is not uncommon for the way these jokers spend your hard earned money, and some may actually invest in wish choices but I can't get over the fact that it's a game we all played as youngsters but didn't spend the time these pros did for whatever reasons.............the lack of anything better to do, the lack of funds growing up to go to movies, date girls, buy cars and make them go faster. The bottom line is it's more the owners fault than anyone else, rich guys who couldn't play and want to play through their money and teams they can buy and buy for more and more and charge you the consumer more and more to watch these gladiators. Yes just like in the days of Rome when we'd watch dudes fight lions and each other for sport, we now watch a lot of dudes that never had a dime waste what YOU give them from your hard earned money on lavish toys and life styles. Sure most end up giving the majority of their windfall to the ladies they spoil and get pregnant and end up broke from the child support for literally dozens of offspring who in turn get breaks because of name recognition and the like, breaks good hard working youth don't get because of the lack of parental breaks in the system.

Call me bitter, call me jealous, call me whatever you'd like, but none fit because I'm just tired of spoiled dudes becoming millionaires overnight because I bought a jersey or season tickets to sporting events. Or millionaires overnight because they play a game that means nothing in the scheme of things, nothing to the real majority of Americans. If the games and the players meant anything to the majority of folks arena's, ballparks, stadiums would seat more than from 12,000 to 70,000. Take a 70,000 seat stadium and a metro area of 5.5 million population if the stadium filled each game (which most don't or even come close) that means less that 1% of the population is attending these events.........................99% of the folks don't give a shit!

You can now put me in the 99% who don't donate to these poor gladiators who came from nothing and expect everything including being kneel down to or look back on where they came from and even give a rats ass! No let the rest of America raise you and your parents....bullcrap!
