Reminds me of the joke during the 1980 campaign.

Have you heard Reagan's program top wipe out poverty?
500,000 teams in the NBA.

Would wipe it out for long:

“Athletes may boast eye-popping sports abilities, but when it comes to money, their inner klutzes come out. 78% of former NFL players are broke or financially stressed after retirement, and 60% of former NBA players go broke five years after retiring, according to Sports Illustrated. Broke athletes are practically an epidemic. Read about the 25 athletes who went broke below, and you’ll understand why.”
