Chapter 754: Bankrupt professional athlete

Walking into the ‘Road Repairer’ restaurant, the boss inside greeted Patton directly. He seemed very familiar: "Hey, Patton, what did you fish out of the river today? Why are you in such a big battle?"
Button smiled and said: "Vincent, I caught a ton of gold today, so I'm going to eat you up here. You wash your neck and get ready."
The boss laughed: "If you had a ton of gold, would you still eat here?"
Button said: "Of course not, I will buy you here, and then let you cook for us specifically, it, who can believe that the lame Vincent who never cooks, cooks so well? Eat. You must cook by yourself today!"
Vincent raised his hand: "Don't worry, you can give me your stomach with confidence."
Looking at the puzzled expressions of Xiao Peng and others, Patton said: "Vincent is also a member of the Bear Hunter, but after an accident, he broke a leg and opened such a restaurant. Now think about it, time It’s terrible. Thirty years have passed in such a blink of an eye."
Xiao Peng asked: "He asked you what you fished out of the river. What does that mean?"
Barton explained: "That's my job. I clean up the river. We have a tributary of the Colorado River passing by. That's also our main source of fresh water. But you know, all kinds of garbage are everywhere. River water. It is also polluted. My job is to clean up the garbage in the river."
Xiao Peng asked in amazement: "Wow, do you have to work too? Oh, I didn't offend you by saying that, but in my imagination, you shouldn't have to work. Every day, the cool riding parade is your all. ."
Barton smiled and said: "How is it possible? Maybe some of us are getting food stamps, but almost all of us are working, like Les, working at a gas station; George works at the'Little Bear Azona' safari park... Almost all of us in this club are people who live locally and nearby. We are busy with our own families. How can we go walking together every day? We only get together during club activities."
Uh, how much do Arizonans like bears? The safari park must be named bear cubs, just because there are no wild bears living here?
Vincent is still quick to serve dishes, but this Arizona cuisine, uh, well, Xiao Peng is really not used to it. In comparison, grilled corn with cheese is the most normal, just sprinkle the cooked corn. Top with cheese and squeeze some lime juice. The sweet and sour taste is very appetizing, which makes you appetite. But for other foods, Xiao Peng only scratched his head.
For example, a dish called stuffed red pepper.
At first glance at the name, Xiao Peng felt that it should be a dish similar to Huaxia’s tiger-skin chili peppers, but when he came up, Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: in the middle of a plate was a deep-fried red pepper, and the sides were similar to chili sauce. Soup. After inquiring about it, I found out that this dish is coated with chihuahua cheese with red pepper, then fried in egg batter, and finally coated with sour cream and Anchilada sauce, and then topped with chili sauce. It is so strange. One of the dishes is so delicious. . . . . . Well, watching the joyful look of Barton and the others eating, Xiao Peng stopped commenting.
And people here especially like to eat guacamole. The so-called guacamole is a jam made of avocado and onion, with chili, garlic, etc. added to it. Think about the taste. Seeing Patton and the others chatting and eating corn chips dipped in guacamole, Xiao Peng had to lament the difference in taste. Fortunately, there are pizza and sandwiches here. Xiao Peng can accept it, but he is full.
"Barton, what's the matter with Randy? You don't like him very much, but he is a member of your club?" Xiao Peng said his question.
Button smiled and said: "In fact, we all know the reason why he joined here. He doesn't like to ride with us on motorcycles at all, but is eyeing our club. This club was established by me and his brother. Randy has not retired. How long did it take to go bankrupt, and because of this, he focused on our club. He wanted to take ownership of the club for his own profit."
"Isn't he a professional star? How can he go bankrupt?" Xiao Peng puzzled. In the eyes of many people, professional players are those who have sky-high salaries, enter and exit luxury cars, accompanied by beautiful women, how can they go bankrupt?
Button smiled: "Xiao, this is the Star Striped Nation. 70% of professional football players will go bankrupt after retirement."
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was dumbfounded.
Button continued: "This phenomenon is very normal in the Stars and Stripes. The bankruptcy rate after retirement in the NBA is more than 60%, and professional baseball is also more than 50%. The lowest bankruptcy rate is the North American Hockey League. That is because the North American Hockey League has one The benefits are well done, and all professional players have investment protection after retirement. White people's sports are naturally considered more thoughtful..."
Well, even though Patton is not a racist, he is obviously proud of being a white man. This is pride from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Peng asked puzzledly: "Aren't those professional players earn a lot of money?"
"Of course." Button said. "The income of all major professional leagues in the Star-Spangled Countries is very high. For example, in the NBA, there are not many people who look at it. The per capita income is indeed the highest, reaching $4.58 million per capita. Next is baseball, with a per capita income of 4.17 million. U.S. dollars, and then ice hockey, with an average of 2.62 million U.S. dollars per capita. Among the four major leagues in the Stars and Stripes, basketball can be said to have the lowest influence. Those people earn so much. So we hate the NBA."
Xiao Peng looked at Button incomprehensibly: "The NBA is the only one of the four major US professional leagues to go to the world? Is it that unbearable? Besides, how can the NBA be better than ice hockey. I think the broadcasting income of ice hockey ranks behind the NBA. what."
Button pouted: "You also said that the NBA is going to the world, not to the Stars and Stripes. The broadcasting income of ice hockey in the Stars and Stripes is behind the NBA, but have you ever thought? Ice hockey is just popular in the Stars and Stripes. The northern states are still in leagues formed with Canada. These broadcast revenues do not include the Canadian side. If you count it, I don’t know how many streets you have to throw away from the NBA. Okay, now even the Major League Soccer is coming from behind. Now, looking at the posture, I'm almost catching up with the NBA."
"Then why don't you like the NBA?" Xiao Peng puzzled. "Just because they earn a lot?"
Button shrugged: "The current NBA gives people the feeling of a black circle. Sex and drugs are rampant. Although Arizona is not a racist state, there is no doubt that we are a state with a higher proportion of whites. Would you like the NBA?"
Xiao Peng was speechless: "Now the rugby league is also full of blacks, right? At least half of the people are blacks, right?"
Button laughed: "But the quarterback is white! Now in the entire NFL, how many black quarterbacks are there? Look at the top quarterbacks such as the Manning brothers and Tom Brady. They are all white! The core of a team!"
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "But after all, other leagues should have higher incomes, right? Let's just talk about baseball. As far as I know, the New York Yankees have six people with an annual salary of 20 million. More than three million yuan, but they have a lot of substitutes, which will bring down the per capita income, right?"
Button nodded and said: "That's what they deserve! After all, their market value is there! And how many people are on the baseball team? Counting 30 substitutes, not to mention football, there are 53 people on the big list in every game. People, this is called a collective project. With so few people like the NBA making so much money, how can we like the NBA?"
Xiao Peng stopped discussing this issue. This is totally unclear. People always find countless reasons to hate something. No wonder the annual NCAA college basketball league ratings are much higher than that of the NBA. The status of the NBA in the Stars and Stripes is really quite different from its status in the world. Just look at the Kardashian sisters. They first dated rugby players. They started dating NBA players only after they became famous in the Stars and Stripes. They first stand firm and then look at the world. . . . . .
"Barton, you haven't told me why he went bankrupt?" Xiao Peng asked curiously
Barton said: "How do you say, let those black people bring bad things."
"Huh?" Why does this involve black people again? After thinking about Xiao Peng, he was relieved. This is the standard style of the Stars and Stripes. It is said that Arizona is a non-racial state, but white people have a kind of pride in their bones. The simplest example is a white man and a black man. Married and gave birth to a child, even if he looks white again, it must be said that he is black. Klay Thompson of the NBA Warriors is the best example. . . . . .
Button continued: "There is a saying in the black circle:'If you don't play music or sports, then you don't expect to get ahead.' Just like the NBA, 90% of athletes are black. Most of them are born in poverty. With basic family education, there are still relatively few middle-class basketball players like Jordan and Kobe. Most black athletes grew up in slums and have never seen anything since they were young? Drugs, Ji girls, street shootings, and After becoming a professional player, then there is money to spend, let alone black people, those white people from ordinary backgrounds can’t resist this huge change. For them, money comes too easily, and there is very little in their minds. The concept of financial management does not know how to avoid taxes, and makes a lot of money and spends a lot of money. Finally, after retiring, he found that he had no savings and no source of income, and finally went bankrupt.
Xiao Peng nodded. Now he understands thoroughly. Just like China’s nouveau riche and coal boss, he has a large amount of disposable property in an instant. At the same time, he does not consider the future. When he has money, he buys a luxury house. I found that I couldn't even pay the house tax on luxury houses. What are you waiting for?
