How about Winnipeg?
As a young millionaire I’d be bored as hell there

With the current NBA salaries, what you save in low cost of living areas like Green Bay and Memphis you could easily charter private jets monthly to wherever you wanted to go.
A lot of your white nfl players enjoy the outdoors, so I don’t think they mind places like Green Bay all.
Given that, the life of a young guy with millions in NYC, LA, or Miami compared to them is not even close.

What’s the problem with Milwaukee and Cincinnati? Have you ever even been to these places?
Yeah there are worse places. If I’m a big time player I’d prefer to be near a beach. If the money is in the same ballpark I’d rather play for the Rays than the Red Sox.

SLC and Cincinnati are good towns with plenty of action. Buffalo actually ain’t bad either.

That's one of the top choices for a good bit of athletes because of the skiing and summer outdoor activities.
your average nba player doesn't give a shite about either
As for Memphis, it’s not great but it is a basketball city and the grizzlies and Memphis tigers are worshipped there. The Downtown nightlife is enough entertainment and they have ungodly numbers of skanks from suburban Memphis crawling out the woodwork to throw themselves at players. A lot of Grizzlies players like it.

Ain’t no poppin clubs and bad bitches in Utah

Cincinnati is a whole lotta meh. Ohio sucks in general and is hemorrhaging population for a reason.
Kings Island is a joke.
Will say they have an excellent Pops and Sympathy Orchestra though that draws a lot of talent.

No
No state income tax, very nice suburbs, centrally located in the country, 4 seasons for the most part, big airport with no crowd, pretty decent food.
And the Grizzlies have great fan support.

I couldn’t think of a worse place to be.
Nice place for a kid to grow up though.

Good Lord no.
It's stupid to even suggest such a thing.

When we were growing up if we saw a nice car with a black person in it we automatically assumed they were a Packer player.

If NOLA fan support is the worst Memphis and ATL aren’t far behind. Also Miami when they’re not good

Green Bay has like 90,000 people. Not much crime there I would think....... winters are rough but I’ll take that over constant crime any day.......
