Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2091667, member: 1853"] Yes the chances of a tank becoming crippled playing footy are quite minute compared to the chances of a person icon_smile . My thoughts on the discussion: most footy players today would have fairly sizable investment portfolios (property, business interests, shares etc etc) by the end of their careers - if they don't they are stupider than I thought and also badly managed - that they can pretty much live off for the rest of their lives if they don't have anything else to fall back on. Having said that I don't begrudge them a couple hundred thousand a year. It's a tough job and very difficult to get to the top - many young men have the hopes of a footy career but that large percentage of them don't get a shot at the top. I wouldn't want to put my body on the line every week like that - even though not crippling, most of them wil have physical pain that they will have to live with for the rest of their lives. Not to mention every moment of their lives potentially under very public scrutiny. [/QUOTE]
