If I'm going to risk my life and my ability to lift a spoon on my own...
Yeah, I think I'd want to be financially secure in return.

Hell, if he'd never played a down of football in his life he'd be in college seeking the same kind of security.

This moral framework people try to force onto sports (which at their core are anything but) is always strange to me.
