Here's the story we witnessing in athletics.
We recruit you.
Might not educate you.
That's honestly and really truthfully up to you.

What, we hope?
Is you avoid being uneducated.
Smart enough to not **** or attack a woman.
Or really any person.
You determine your consequences of not getting negative attention.

Later on, if lucky.
You get drafted and instantly wealthy.
What, we hope?
You have common sense and knowledge to avoid more trouble.

Money brings women.
And various forms of strippers.
And leeches and yes, even greedy ministers too.

If wise, you find a good woman.
A honest fair lawyer.
And a great accountants and keep your loyal friends.

But what we see?
Is some childish athletes with various kids mothers.
Crying about being low on money.

And they wonder why?

Here is the truth?
The only one looking out for you.
Is you.

And you ponder this?
When money creates trouble seen and unseen.
