From @theathletic.bsky.social: A basic suit won’t cut it these days for some NFL Draft prospects. Adding in shoes and accessories, players can easily spend $10,000 for an ensemble that probably will not be worn again. nyti.ms/4iuL8EX - ThreadSky

Silly

And it’s all ridiculous and mostly ill-fitting.

So the solution is to dress in the same fabric as one of Trump's sofas?

It’s getting harder every day to care about rich athletes and their grotesque, conspicuous consumption.

At least they'll be broke and crippled in three years.

How dare these athletes, who sacrificed their bodies and health for our entertainment consumption, actually enjoy the spoils of their blood, sweat, and tears.

doug-holst.bsky.social•4 days ago

I should have said celebrities, not just athletes. Ten thousand dollars for a suit to wear for one night?!

Glad our NIL money is being put to good use…🤦🏻‍♂️

All that money spent, just to get passed over in the 1st round.

Ummm Golden was picked in the first round by Green Bay.

My first response was to laugh out loud.

Looks ridiculous… clearly no one taught him about personal financial management .. in these times, this isn’t what should be pushed

misterz03.bsky.social•5 days ago

There’s a reason a lot of players end up broke after they retire.

I remember when Joey Burrow was drafted sitting in the living room of his parents house on the Plains Ohio wearing a 740 t-shirt.

Morons.

They need to start teaching them about money before the draft.

amidumonde.bsky.social•4 days ago

They should save their money.

Good for them. Enjoy the biggest day of their careers so far. I'm sure their families made tons of sacrifices for them to get there. They (and their families/support groups) are about to get generational wealth changing contracts.

When are going see articles about the NFL owners' excessive wealth?
