...if they weren't any good at sports? I'm talking about guys you just couldn't see in an office, 9-5, construction, or even retail. Base it on looks, demeanor, or if you plain just don't like them.

You've basically got to be mentally unstable to be homeless.
A lot of them might be unemployed, but very few would be homeless.
You also have to consider that if they weren't good at sports most of them probably wouldn't have their demeanor and/or tattoos.

I heard on the radio or something a few years back that many of the NBA players are broke within 5 years of leaving the league. Mostly due to poor financial decisions. 12/13/2011 1:22:54 PM |

78% of football players are broke 5 years after retirement
60% of basketball players are broke 5 years after retirement
if specific athletes weren't good at sports, then they wouldn't have spent their lives being coddled, unduly celebrated for purely physical achievements, and encouraged to pursue painfully narrow paths of interest. free from these corrosive features of sports culture, the respective athletes would surely have employment commensurate to their peer groups. 12/13/2011 1:32:54 PM |

I know we hate to admit it, but just about every NC State basketball player that saw any playing time during my entire lifetime would be on this list, except a few:
-Jeremy Hyatt (he's selling cars at Leith Honda, right?) -Julius Hodge (acting?) -Cornelius Williams (I used to think it was a joke that he got his Masters in Chem, but apparently it's true. I don't remember him being too bright at Herb Sendek BBall camp in 1997) -Illian Evtimov (uhh...translator? Distributor for "Mountain Dew...Big Drink"?)
Any others? I'm not talking benchwarmers like Will Roach or Luke Buffum (who was from Beverly Hills and is probably still independently wealthy).

Yeah, let's limit this to jobs that involve thinking. Even TA works at Bojangles.
