Not to belittle the plight of ex football players, but have you ever seen a retirement-age concrete finisher? Probably not, because that job takes a physical toll on a body like you wouldn't believe. It's not the only "regular job" that has a long-term physical toll either. At least the NFL players get a good income for a short while, and the college players get a college education without student loans to deal with. I think that expecting NFL players to kill themselves for our entertainment is unrealistic, but I also think that football players expecting to get that much money and come out of the experience totally unscathed is also unrealistic. Now to draw the line in the middle somewhere...
