3000/month after taxes is a frickload more than what actual lower income families bring in. And that's if only one person in the family is currently out of work. Lower income families are getting a raise if they lose their jobs.


I can’t argue with any of that, it’s a fact.

BUT - you and I know that new bonus money is more than likely GONE before it has a chance to collect dust in a savings account.

Ive seen a couple of ads with millionaire pro athletes telling people to stay home - all 100% still receiving paychecks


On ESPN's scroller every night when an LSU game is shown you will see some reference to this team or that confernece's senior officials having their pay reduced and such.

Have any pro-athletes agreed to give up any money so the rank and file employees with their teams can receive their usual paychecks? For that matter have Big Ed, Paul or Wade donated some of their money to secretaries, groundscrew type,etc?

In my experience, everyone I have seen who is a "if it saves only one life" is either:
-retired
-unemployed
-government worker working from home
-has a man/ex-man who is providing for them

A ton of pro players have donated millions to support staff for teams and arenas/stadiums. Kevin Love was one of the first and Zion Williamson, a rookie, pledged to pay the salaries of every arena employee for a month.
