A recent book called “Is There Life After Football: Surviving The NFL” chronicles the declining fortunes of retired NFL players in more ways than just financial. Decades on the gridiron have taken physical toll on former players as well is a financial one. Concussions certainly play a huge role in the problems that former players have after they leave the field: former Super Bowl quarterback Jim McMahon suffers from dementia, while other former players are disabled to the point where they cannot walk, or have actually lost limbs to injuries sustained during their careers. A confluence of injuries, ego, competition with other players to bling it up, and very often predatory family and entourages can bring those skyhigh paychecks down to a sum not enough to cover taxi fare to the Bankruptcy Court.
While you might not be out fathering nine children by nine different women, like former Denver Broncos player Travis Henry, bankruptcy can be just as much an unfortunate event to those lower down the economic ladder than multimillionaire football players. Everyone is susceptible to taking bad advice, ill-advised investments, or even living beyond their means in a materialistic culture that seems to prize having the latest and greatest over prudence and stability.
