I can’t get a credit card from my bank with an almost 800 credit score, six figure salary, and this dude gets a $4 million loan after defaulting on a $600,000 one? Sounds like the bank’s issues.

True... but having children with multiple women makes him irresponsible.

These athletes... just take your regular salary and throw it all in various savings accounts/CDs and take every single endorsement deal you can and live off of those.

Or heck, if you can’t do that, just bank the roster and signing bonuses and live off the base. It’s plenty of money, especially for a guy like Peterson.

He doesn’t seem to have spent incredibly lavishly, so I’m inclined to believe he trusted someone who screwed him over...but why do you even need some kind of “advisor” or “money handler”? Can you open a bank account and a brokerage account with vanguard? You’re good then.

Only a complete trashball would see that many kids with that many women and say having sex doesn't make you a bad person

He did that.

These "good money managers" are half the problem. They are the biggest thieves siphoning money to offshore accounts.

I remember this one. This was the one where they had a financial advisor guy and his sage-like advice was literally the following:

I will never understand the way some of these guys go broke like this. I understand that people take advantage of them and I have no experience managing that kind of money, but I'm pretty confident that I'd be able to get by without being with $100MM over 12 years.

Dudes going to have a million dollar a year pension when he retires. Ok Simpson draws 250k and he played in the 70s. Peterson has nothing to worry about.

How do you not realize how much of a dumb response this is?

He had so many kids with so many different women, he didn’t know one of them existed until after the poor kid passed.

Black people get trashed all the time on this board, so when a man wants to discipline his child for he wont go down a bad path, he gets trashed for that also.

Turning this into a race issue for reason while ignoring what actually happened seems to be your typical shitick.

Having kids you can't/dont intend to take care of does make you a bad person.
