    TBF, (American) football players risk increasing traumatic brain injuries and break their bodies to play the game. That compensation has to help them deal with the aftermath of that for the rest of their life.

    CEOs… I dunno.

      Well, CEOs do face the risk of meeting green-shirted plumbers, so maybe it’s just hazard pay?

      Iirc way too many football players go broke once they retire due them spending all their money living the “baller” lifestyle instead of saving/planning ahead.
