and ah, why do the sports stars wear necklaces with a ton'O diamonds???

I know they’ve got the cash to buy them, but dang, why can’t they do something to support something that will make a difference?? Ugh…. I guess it is all about them. I’m just so sick of the poor and underprivileged in this country getting shit on and being dehumanized.

I agree. They are in a bubble at that point and even if they normally aren't a'holes, they quickly become so. hlthe2b Thursday #6

I've long thought there should be some restrictions on NIL money for college athletes (mainly football) to try to protect the funds over the lifespan of the player's time at the school --i.e., put some of it in a legally bound but deferred payment.

These 18, 19, 20 yos are just not ready for that kind of money (with few exceptions).

It just makes me sad……and not with athletes, but with all the fawking millionaires and billionaires that could share and be gawds/goddesses that won’t led a hand for these people. Oh, and I did give my couple hundred dollars to my local Red Cross and Hunger Task Force for the food loss. It just makes me so gawd damn mad. ALL THEIR DAMN MONEY GOING FOR ANOTHER DAMN HOUSE, OR A 3rd YACHT AND JET. 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬
