75% of NFL players are broke 3 years after their football careers end. I assume the breakdown is probably 50% white players, 90% black.

I remember reading about this draft pick who made 1.8 million his first year. Seems his family somehow got a hold of his money and blew through it without his knowledge. The picture of him standing there with this WT? look on his face when he confronted them is priceless. Don’t know what happened later on.

I think you mean 10% white players and 90% black players?

Lynch sat out a year and then came back to play. It wouldn't surprise me if the reason he came of retirement is because he's broke.
