http://inbedwithmaradona.com/journal/2012/9/2/light-the-blue-toilet-paper-its-the-clasico-cruceo.html

quote:

It’s Sunday, and Club Blooming and Oriente Petrolero are meeting in the 159th Clasico Cruceño. They’re the two biggest teams in Santa Cruz, a rapidly expanding city in Bolivia’s eastern lowlands, a 20-hour train ride from the Brazilian border.

The derby is famed for its combustible atmosphere and potential for violence both off and on the pitch (a notable incident in 2009 included a flying karate kick and criminal charges brought against a player). On this occasion it features two teams toiling in midtable. In five games each prior to the match, they’ve managed a combined total of eight goals.

Both sides call the Estadio Tahuichi Aguilera, a mile south of the city’s leafy plaza, home but it’s Blooming’s patch for the day.

[...]

As the final whistle blows, the referee is surrounded by players, officials and, quickly, riot police, as a melee unfathomable from the stands develops in the middle of the pitch. The players head in dribs and drabs towards the tunnel as Oriente’s fans – who without being deafening have sang relentlessly throughout the game – continue with their vocal support. Blooming’s fans launch yet more firecrackers and it’s impossible to see what’s going on from the southwest corner of the ground.

It later emerges that missiles – or fireworks, to be more specific – thrown by Blooming supporters in the curva have landed in the immediate vicinity of Oriente manager Erwin Sanchez on his way to the tunnel, and he ends up in a heap on the floor. The pyrotechnics don’t end there as Blooming set fire to paper in the stand. The police – later criticized for reacting slowly – then respond by launching tear gas into the Blooming section.

I liked the photo.

Judging by the secret footballer plenty are on the border even before retirement. Owen is hawking himself around so much to keep his horse habit up which will be terry and then rooney in a few years.

Is it because their young and impressionable or just plain dumb and squander the money on mansions and lambos or is it because they're being taken advantage of by someone?

Honestly I have a hard time feeling bad for them if it's the former (most likely)

It's always a combination. Most star athletes have been treated as such since they showed promise, and that continues to get heaped on more and more as they show more and more talent. Add in a disproportionate amount of them coming from low-income backgrounds, sprinkle on some poo poo-heel investors ready to empty your pockets and waste your money with investments. Throw in a Lambo, a mansion for Ma and you're pretty well on your way to bankruptcy in a few years when the millions no longer exist but bills for a millionaire do.

Especially in America, it's mostly a low education/low income upbringing and then sudden wealth and having no idea what the gently caress to do with it or who to trust with it. I doubt it's much different for soccer players.

They do. It's required for all rookies to take.

e: Sorry, it's put on by the NFLPA, not the league and it's not required but a fair number of rookies do attend.

Not to mention the number of kids these guys have out of wedlock. As far as I know the level of child support you are ordered to pay is calculated using the level of income you are at when the child is born. When you're making $5m/yr when the kids are born it's pretty hard to keep up the child support payments when your income goes back to a more normal level after retirement, even if you're lucky enough to land a lucrative TV job.

I read a book called Futebol The Brazilian Way by Alex Bellos and it has the story of Garrincha who was Brazil's second best footballer during Pele's time and how he died piss poor and forgotten, it wasn't until he actually died that people remembered he existed, really sad story.

I remember that one of the big points of the presentation is to not let anyone from your neighborhood/friends/family touch your money. Apparently, most of the issues stem from having to "take care of the people who got you there", which, it turns out, is always 20-30 people all wanting a check or a house.

In the NBA, the common wisdom is that your second contract is when you can start planning your future. Because your first $3-5m is all gone in 3 years from setting up your family/friends/entourage.
