They
say most professional athletes go bankrupt once their time is up in the “GAME”.
The money they are earning cannot satisfy them for the rest of their life expectancy
therefore they have to sell themselves so they can make more money than what
they are making playing a professional sport. By one athlete MARKETING themselves out of scenery
dealing amongst sports; it will become a trend to other athletes to follow because
they will see how to make more money than just relying on their checks they get
from playing a professional sport half their life. For example, Michael Jordan influenced every new
generation because of his way of making money rather than just playing
basketball. It shaped his image to being basically the “GOD” of sports making
his FAME highly appreciated in
history. By Michael Jordan being a role
model to our civilization from his selling, of shoes, commercials, posters,
clothes, and many more things in society it really showed other athletes how to
be a CEO of their own image. Like right now Michael is living healthy in life
who would not want to be like him creating an image of themselves in his shows.
Michael Jordan retired with $40 million in endorsements making $178,100 a day working
or not. If he sleeps 7 hours a night, he makes $52,000 every night while he visions
“BIG BOOTYS” in his head. If he decides to have a 5-minute talk with the PAPRAZZIES, he'll make $618 while having
an influential talk. I mean the guy is good at making money it’s a God giving
talent he actually taught to the new generation of athletes. For instinct if
you look at LeBron James since he
came into the league fresh out of high school, I considered LeBron James taking
the path Michael Jordan did in making money and being the greatest being the
newest of new ROLE MODEL for the new generation of athletes.
i agree because the average nba player only stays in the league for about 3-4 years after that they have to find other ways to make money or they will become bankrupt
ReplyDeletei agree most famous athletes don't have a plan B like most should to rely on to stay on their feet
ReplyDeletethem stats are accurate , i agree i think it has already became a trend that athletes market themselves
