NBA or NFL?
This email is making the rounds. I’m breaking one of my arbitrary rules here, but it’s too good to pass up. And yes, there is a personal finance angle in it.
EDIT: Thanks to an anonymous commenter, the veracity has been proved at Snopes.com. But what does that say about us for wanting to believe it?
NBA OR NFL?
36 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71, repeat, 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 currently are defendants in lawsuits, and
