It's a choice they made. Part of the reason their life span is so short is that they are so fat. Johnny U lived to be 70, Bart Starr is still alive, Dave Robinson, Boyd Dowler, etc.  They can have some control over their life span. But lets also face it, no one knows how long they will live. I was just at a funeral of a lady who was 53 years old. 4 months ago she seemed in tip top shape. Now she's dead of a fast growing cancer. None of have a guarantee of a long life.Your average American income is an oft quoted statistic. What isn't quoted is that the figure is skewed by the number of Billionaires in America. Drop them out of the equation and the average income drops considerably. It's like when your teachers used to grade on curve. At 1 million dollars I could life comfortably for the next 30 years at the salary I am currently making (with post graduate education). It's about management and choices. These players today, like many young Americans think they are entitled to the high life. I don't have sympathy for them nor the owners.</blockquote>
