Pro Athletes: Cash flow Hungry?
Does professional athlete make good money? You bet.
For informational purposes let's review the relationship between the NFL and NFL players.

► How are players get paid?
Every player on the roster gets paid, even if he doesn't play, but they get paid only during the play season.
That means that in the out of season time there is no cash coming in. As anyone else, players have deductions taken from their paychecks.
There are taxes, insurance and benefit plan deduction, but even after all the deductions there is a substantial cash flow for a player during the season.
► What if a player gets hurt?
The standard player contract calls for all injured players to be paid in full through the end of the season in which they are injured.
If a players injured during training camp, he will be compensated as well. If a player subsequently released, he can file a grievance
against the club with the Players Association and teams usually reach injury settlements with players injured during training camp.

2. NFL players require to always conduct themselves in a way that shows they are in recognition "of the fact that the success of professional
football depends largely on public respect for and approval of those associated with the game."
