Why the hell should owners pay for players who aren't in the league? Why should a business owner pay ANYone who doesn't work for them?
Maybe another reason that owners are advising players to save their money is that professional athletes are notoriously bad at money management.
No, players do not have to live off their salaries when they leave off playing. They get a pension, and they have the opportunity to invest in a retirement scheme.
You understand a billionaire doesn't NEED to be advised about money management, correct? If you're going to get into such high dudgeon over team owners being billionaires, maybe you should stop watching American football.

Who the fuck is asking owners to pay for people who are not in the league?
I said that you are focused on the player's salary when there is a lot more to it than just that number.
Sorry dude, not my baggage that you don't get it.
SOME get a pension, not all. There is a shitload of fine print in their contracts. Just like health insurance today, they will find a way not to pay out every time they get a chance.
It is standard in most businesses that you have to work a certain number of years to get a pension. Most businesses today fire employees at the mid and low level before they have to pay a pension.

Holy shit...... "Billionaires don't need lectures on money management".... NO SHIT, but they do need a lecture on greed and hypocrisy.
They still rip off the concession stand workers, and the fans and the cities they get loans from to build their stadiums, loans they frequently do not pay back.
And very few of their players get the health care they need after they leave the league. Just like sitcom actors are supposed to get royalties after the show ends. If it worked the way you think it does, then nobody would go broke. I do not buy the myth that every single player who goes broke is irresponsible.
So...going to stop watching the games on TV?
