Buying a nice car for his mother isn't wasting money.
No one's saying mom doesn't deserve a nice car. It's just that White could've bought a loaded Toyota (which is actually a higher quality car than MB) for half the price.
Now this purchase, by itself, isn't an issue. I'm just hoping White doesn't fall into the trap of over-the-top spending. He seems very grounded and humble so I'm bet he'll be fine, but there's nothing wrong with raising this issue, because it happens far too often with NFL players.

I guess people have different reactions.
Devin has lived his entire life with very little and when he was in a position to buy his first luxury item, he bought it for his mother, who likely has had little by way of luxuries in her life.
I thought it was a selfless gesture that merited our admiration, not criticism.
