NFL Lockout Loans: Are Players Being Exploited?
For every $100 loaned to customers via same day loans, a 15 to 25 percent fee is added for the convenience. Considering the relatively small dollar amount of these instant payday loans, the fee generally doesn’t break the bank. According to Yahoo! Sports, now there’s a high-dollar variant of such instant payday advances for disenfranchised athletes: the NFL lockout loan. Players out of cash because of the labor dispute are being solicited by lending agents. Article resource – NFL lockout loans: More money, more problems by MoneyBlogNewz.
Dangerous 36 percent Annual Percentage Rate on lockout loans
There have been lockout loans of $60,000 made with a 36 percent APR which ads up very fast. The $300 and $400 consumer same day loans do not make nearly that much interest on 36 percent APR. The loans have been accessed by many players. Yahoo! Sports reports they were given to players from at least 16 teams. The NFL Players Association lockout fund has helped some players, however clearly the response to high-risk lockout loans indicates that some players have not curbed their extravagant lifestyles in the absence of their paychecks. The National Football League Players Association advised players to save at least three game checks from the previous season in anticipation of the 2011 lockout, however insiders report the advice may not have been heeded. MSNBC reports that it was also suggested by the National Football League Players Association that players do other things to conserve and make money. This would consist of autograph signings, fly coach or refinance their homes.
Paying NFL players a lot just to have them waste it
From a young age, star athletes are surrounded by enablers, according to psychologists. Players get to be professionals without ever having learned much about finances. They are unable to look after their finances because of this. Millions being given to someone who was poor might also be an issue. These individuals might just spend it all up. After retirement, most NFL players end up bankrupt. Sports Illustrated estimates this to be about 80 percent of players. MSNBC indicates that as much as 380 of the NFL’s 1,700 players live from paycheck to paycheck, even though the average NFL annual salary in 2010 was $1.87 million. The rookie average was $320,000, but after taxes and agents, money troubles can occur if players are not careful.
There is support for lockout loans
The lockout loans are a legitimate product. This is the opinion of NFL athlete advisor Sherard Rogers who spoke with Yahoo! Sports. Players that only spend could have trouble. They may need a little help.
“Every NFL team was valued at over $1 billion, so they can weather the storm of a lockout. But could players if there weren’t resources to cover this short-term labor dispute?” asked Rogers. “The key is to figure out how to solve the short-term liquidity issue and put the pieces in place to ensure they don’t have this liquidity issue again.”
