WTF!
The "Typical time"(*not average) spent in pro football is 2 years. You need 5 years or more to get a retirement check.
Nobody would be bankrupt with a retirement check.
Keep trying though.
Face it; the reason you are debating this is because you have nothing more than a high school diploma and the only way to poke at the college athletes who are better looking, more manly and praised, is to call them stupid.
You still lose though.

* Not using average because a 10 yr vet makes two 1 year players fit in the average of 4 yrs when that's total bullshit since 2/3 of that set only had one year.

Ha! It's clear you don't know me and that you have difficulty with facts as well as memory. But that does not surprise me in the least.
Let's revisit shall we....
1. You said and I quote .... " Almost every football player getting paid has completed a degree from a major University."
THIS IS FALSE AS STATED BY THE NFL. LESS THAN 50% HAVE DEGREES.
2. You make the astoundingly absurd statement that:
"Why don't you retire 2 years after college and see how fucking bankrupt you become."
Your logic is so flawed I'm convinced you are a teenager.
First you state that "Almost every football player getting paid has completed a degree"
Then you state that I shouldn't be shocked when they go bankrupt because they only played pro ball for 2 years .. really? LOL!
If after two years, these college educated geniuses couldn't play pro ball, they could certainly get jobs. College educated, former pro athletes don't have issues getting work.
3. You make a definitive ( and ignorant ) statement that I am.. lets see... what was it :
"you have nothing more than a high school diploma and the only way to poke at the college athletes who are better looking, more manly and praised, is to call them stupid."
a. I have my masters degree.
b. I played football in college
c. I NEVER said that they are stupid. I stated a fact. "78 percent of NFL players are bankrupt or under financial stress within two years of retirement"
I have tremendous respect for college athletes. Especially those that go on to complete their degrees.
But I have to tell ya .. I am coming here less and less because it makes me feel like John Malkovich in Burn After Reading .. and it kinda makes me long for the same fate.
