Why do so many NFL players go bankrupt?

Kind of thing that drives me absolutely nuts.

Me too. It's just young, dumb, and stupid. They have so many enablers and yes men around them, and that doesn't help. Having the best jewelry, hottest cars, and biggest houses is actually pretty much the dumbest way to represent your wealth. Don't get me wrong, if I was making millions a year I would have nice clothes, a nice car or two, and probably more than one house. But I wouldn't be ridiculous about it. These guys have no clue how to live within their means, despite their means being incredibly extensive compared to the rest of the world.

I believe all 4 major US sports have financial counseling available, too. I guess most of these guys didn't hear that memo because the sound system in their $250,000 car was playing too loudly.

Not to mention they have so many clinging friends and family members.
