What is up with rich sports figures...

saying that they need to feed their families? First Latrell Spreewell, now Terrell Owens.

:wtf:

Give me a tenth of what they make in a year, and I could get by for probably 20 years on it!

1. they're used to being catered to

so when they can't get their way even once it is completely foreign to them, and they overreact

i don't completely blame them; they just play the game, it's all the suck ups and cheats out there who really corrupt em

[KitchenWitch]

true

but I think those "gotta feed my family" lines are absolutely disgusting, when there are so many families that go completely without!

3. yeah, but a lot of those guys know what that's like

so maybe they're still in that mindset

oh well; as long as i can watch an exciting game i don't really care

2. Uneducated people tend to say uneducated things...

... :(

4. Yea, that's stupid

It would be better if they said something like, "The organization brought in $900 million this year. I think I am at least entitled to $20 million of that!"

A little honesty would go a long way.

B-)

5. Your way of stating it would be a lot more palatable

If I could not live on 20 million a year, THAT would be disgusting.
