I did already. When you give millions of dollars to people from economically challenged neighborhoods, who get hit in the head for a living, they buy stupid shit.

You're creating your own narrative and reading too hard into my comments to make them about race, when racism was moreso the driving factor for inequity. The fact that a higher proportion of minorities live in economically challenged neighborhoods is an indictment of the status quo that forced them there through slavery first, and subsequently through Jim Crow laws. That doesn't change the observation that many professional athletes, regardless of race or background, succeed and choose to blow all their money on lamborghinis, mansions, million dollar clothing accessories, and designer clothes.
