![WTF?! Reality Show Alert: Strip Club Queens of Atlanta… [PHOTOS + VIDEOS]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/strip-club-queens-promo-1-520x523.jpg)
ESPN Films 30 for 30 documentary series focused on some of the pitfalls NFL players encountered after leaving the league.
Director Billy Corben did a marvelous job in the documentary of sowing how one can go from bing a multimillionaire to “BROKE” by buying into lavish lifestyles and poor money management.
Some of the highest paid athletes can lose it all in a matter of months.
Drug addiction, groupies, lavish spending, gambling, bad investments and of course large child support payments, are a few of the issues that turn ballers “BROKE”.
Athletes such as former NFL Pro Bowler Andre Rison, former MLB World Series Champion Curt Schilling, former NBA All-Star Jamal Mashburn, openly discuss their monetary issues, revealing that bad judgement and lack of financial education played a huge part in many of their lives.
Watch the full video + former Falcon Bob Whitfield‘s assessment of the show below:
Former Atlanta Falcons’ Bob Whitfield spoke about the episode recently on WSB’s Sports Kings Radio:
VIDEO: Bob Whitfield Speaks About “BROKE” Documentary on Sports Kings Radio
On The Heels Of Tuesday’s ESPN 30 For 30 Documentary “Broke” There Was No One Better to Talk To Than Bob Whitfield Who Played With Some Of The NFL’s Most Flamboyant Players Deion Sanders & Andre Rison During The Falcons’ Too Legit Too Quit Era. Whitfield, A Member Of The Falcons’ 1998 Super Bowl Team Compares That Team To This Year’s Falcons Squad.
In summary, professional ball players get caught up in the whirlwind of money, clothes & h*es and forget that they have their entire lives to live. Many retire before they even reach the age of 30 and have no idea what to do with their lives AFTER football (basketball, baseball, etc.)
Clearly the same can be said for entertainers and the like, who accumulate huge amounts of money in a short period of time.
What did you think of ESPN’s 30 for 30 “BROKE” Documentary?

I saw the show and it was very disheartening. Unfortunately, this is a vicious cycle that will continue because many of these guys don’t know how to put things in perspective. Even some of the ones who aspire to invest their money end up on the wrong path.
What a "Baller" SHOULD do is put that sperm on ice , get a vasectomy and ride the chickens raw if that’s his thing. Eventually he’ll find that one. But at least wait til he’s 30ty something to build that bank in funds and mental compass. How many chics gotta collect all their "baby mama" homie chumps change til’ they’re broke to see this aint’ the way to go. Marrying chics they met on the pole, in da’ club. Only conversations are in da’ bed. Bob Whitfeild is an educated man. Wonder how THAT conversation went?…I know,one sided..he couldn’t get a word in..just her trying to keep him on the only topic she knew.."Whatchugonbuyme??"
With so many examples of past ballers who blew threw their money, these new money athletes have to be effing idiots to follow in their footsteps
i thought bob was broke?
i think a lot of the documentary not only applies to athletes but to anyone in general … what can happen if you live beyond your means … the bubble can burst…
