Text Chapter 754 Bankrupt Professional Athlete
Walking into the 'Road Builder' restaurant, the owner inside greeted Barton directly, looking very familiar: "Hey, Barton, what did you fish out of the river today?
Barton smiled, "Vincent, I fished out a ton of gold today, so I'm going to empty you here." Wash your neck and get ready. β
The boss laughed, "If you had a ton of gold, would you eat here?"
Barton said: "Of course not, I will buy you here, and then let you cook for us to eat, damn it, who would dare to believe that the lame Vincent, who never cooks, cooks so delicious." You'll be able to cook it yourself today!"
Vincent raised his hand: "Don't worry, you can rest assured and boldly hand over your stomach to me." β
Looking at the puzzled expressions of Xiao Peng and the others, Barton said: "Vincent is also a member of the 'Bear Hunters', but he broke his leg after an accident and opened such a restaurant. β
Xiao Peng asked, "He asked you what you fished out of the river, what does this mean?"
"That's my job, I'm doing river cleanup," Barton explains. We have a tributary of the Colorado River here, which is our main source of fresh water here, but you know, there's all kinds of garbage all over the place, and the river is polluted, and my job is to clean up the garbage. β
Xiao Peng asked in surprise: "Wow, do you also have to work?" Oh, I don't mean to offend you by saying this, but in my imagination, you should all have to work, and the chic cycling parade every day is all you have." β
"How is that possible?" Patton laughed, "Maybe we're getting food stamps, but almost all of them are working, like Rice, who works at the gas station, and George who works at the Ezzona the Bear Safari Parkγγγγγγ In our club, almost all people live in the local area and in the neighborhood, and they are usually busy and have families, so how can we go through the streets together every day? β
Uh, how much do Arizonians love bears? Safari parks are named bear cubs just because there are no wild bears here?
Vincent is still very quick to serve, but this Arizona food, uh, well, Xiao Peng is really not very adaptable, in comparison, cheese roasted corn is the most normal, that is, the roasted corn is sprinkled with cheese, squeezed with some lime juice, very appetizing sweet and sour taste, making people appetite. But for other food, Xiao Peng only had to scratch his head.
For example, a dish called stuffed red peppers.
At first glance, Xiao Peng felt that it should be a dish similar to Huaxia's tiger skin pepper, but when he came up, Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: in the middle of a plate was a fried red pepper, and next to it was a soup similar to chili sauce. After inquiring, I found out that this dish is coated with red pepper and chihuahua cheese, then wrapped in thin egg batter and fried, and finally coated with sour cream and angelalda sauce, and then served with chili sauceγγγγγγ Well, looking at the way Barton and their eyebrows danced, Xiao Peng didn't express his opinion.
And people here especially like to eat guacamole, the so-called guacamole is a jam made of avocado and onion as the main ingredients, and peppers, garlic, etc. are added to it, so you can think about the taste. Watching Barton and them chatting and eating corn chips dipped in guacamole, Xiao Peng had to sigh at the difference in taste, fortunately there were pizzas and sandwiches here, this Xiao Peng could accept it, but he also had a full stomach.
"Barton, what's going on with that Randy? I don't think you like him very much, but he's a member of your club?" Xiao Peng asked.
Barton smiled: "Actually, we all know why he joined here, he doesn't like to ride with us at all, he has his eye on our club. This club was founded by me and his brother, and Randy went bankrupt shortly after he retired, which is why he set his sights on our club. I want to take ownership of the club and make a profit for myself. β
"Isn't he a professional star, how can he go bankrupt?" Xiao Peng was puzzled. In the eyes of many people, professional players are the kind with sky-high salaries, in and out of luxury cars, and accompanied by beautiful women, how can they go bankrupt?
Barton smiled: "Shaw, this is the Stars and Stripes, and 70% of professional football players will go bankrupt when they retire. β
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was dumbfounded.
Barton continued: "This phenomenon is very normal in the Stars and Stripes, the NBA's post-retirement bankruptcy rate is also as high as more than 60%, professional baseball is also more than 50%, and the lowest bankruptcy rate is the North American Hockey League, and that's because the North American Ice Hockey League has a very good welfare that gives all professional players post-retirement investment protection. The movement of the white man is naturally considered a little more thoughtfulγγγγγγ β
Well, even though Barton is not a racist, he is clearly proud to be white as well, and that's pride in his bones.
Xiao Peng was puzzled and asked, "Aren't those professional players all very well-paid?"
"Of course. Barton said. "The income of the major professional leagues in the Stars and Stripes country is very high, for example, the NBA, there are not many people who don't look at it, and the per capita income is indeed the highest, reaching 4.58 million US dollars per capita. This is followed by baseball, with a per capita income of $4.17 million, followed by ice hockey, with a per capita income of $2.62 million. Among the four major leagues of the Stars and Stripes, it can be said that the least influential is basketball. Those people make so much. That's why we hate the NBA. β
Xiao Peng looked at Barton puzzled: "The NBA is the only one of the four major professional leagues in the United States to go to the world, right? Besides, the NBA is better than ice hockey." I think ice hockey ranks second to the NBA in terms of broadcast revenue. β
Barton pouted: "You also said that the NBA is going to the world, not to the Stars and Stripes." Ice hockey in the Stars and Stripes Country is ranked behind the NBA, but have you ever thought about it? Ice hockey is only popular in the Stars and Stripes in a few northern states, or is it a league formed together with Canada, and these broadcast revenues are not counted in Canada, if they are counted, I don't know how many streets to throw off the NBA. Well, now even the major leagues in football are coming from behind, and the posture is about to catch up with the NBA. β
"Then why don't you like the NBA?" Xiao Peng was puzzled. "Just because they make more?"
Barton shrugged: "The current NBA has the feel of a black circle, erotic drugs are rampant, and even though we are not a racist state in Arizona, there is no doubt that we are a state with a high percentage of whites, so how can we like the NBA?"
Xiao Peng was speechless: "Now the rugby league is also full of a large number of black people, okay? At least half of the staff are black, right?"
Barton laughed: "But the quarterbacks are white! Now there are a few black quarterbacks in the entire NFL? Look at the Manning brothers, Tom Brady, these top quarterbacks, they are all white! The quarterback is the core of a team!"
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "But if you calculate it, it should be that the income of other leagues is higher, right? Let's talk about baseball, as far as I know, there are six New York Yankees with an annual salary of 20 million, and the starting ten have a salary of more than 13 million, but they have a lot of substitutes, which pulls down the per capita income, right?"
Barton nodded: "That's what they deserve! After all, their market value is there! And how many people are on the baseball team? Counting the thirty substitutes, not to mention football, there are 53 people on the roster every game, this is called a collective project, how can we like the NBA when so few people make so much money?"
Xiao Peng stopped discussing this issue, this is not clear at all, people will always find countless reasons for hating something, BA's status in the Stars and Stripes Country is really completely different from his status in the world. Just look at the Kardashian sisters, they all started dating football players, and only started dating NBA players after they became famous in the Stars and Stripesγγγγγγ
"Barton, you haven't told me why he went bankrupt?" Xiao Peng asked curiously
Patton said, "What do you say, let those blacks bring bad things." β
"Huh?" "How does this involve black people again? After thinking about it, Xiao Peng was relieved, this is the standard style of the Stars and Stripes, saying that Arizona is a non-racist state, but white people have a kind of pride in their bones, the simplest example, a white man and a black man get married and have children, no matter how white he looks, Klay Thompson of the BA Warriors is the best example, Bai Cheng is like that, he is also considered blackγγγγγγ
Barton continued: "There's a saying in black circles: 'If you don't play music or play sports, don't expect to come out.'" Just like the NBA, 90% of athletes are black, most of them are from poor backgrounds, and they can't get basic home education since they were young, and there are still relatively few basketball players like Jordan and Kobe Bryant who are born in the middle class. Most black athletes, who grew up in the slums, have never seen anything since they were young, drugs, girls, street shootings, and when they become professional footballers, they have money to spend, let alone blacks, and those white people from average backgrounds can't resist this huge change. For them, money comes too easily, plus they have few financial concepts in their heads, and they don't know how to avoid taxes, so they make a lot of money and squander it. In the end, after retiring, he found that he had no savings and no financial resources, so he could only go bankrupt. β
Xiao Peng nodded, now he completely understood, just like the nouveau riche and coal boss in Huaxia, who instantly owned a large amount of disposable property, and at the same time did not consider the back road, he bought a mansion when he had money, but after retiring, he found that he couldn't even pay the housing tax of the mansion. So what's the wait for not going bankrupt? (https:)
