TBF, (American) football players risk increasing traumatic brain injuries and break their bodies to play the game. That compensation has to help them deal with the aftermath of that for the rest of their life.
Ugh, the public. Most folks are lovely. Some folks want to ruin my day. Guess which one spawn camps the newspaper rack and/or reference desk. (I’m glaring at you, Ms. “Coughs On Everything” and Sir “Let me tell you about my childhood trauma, also the teens are too loud, and no I won’t sit further from the teen section while I make my video calls about how trans folk are liars”)
Iirc way too many football players go broke once they retire due them spending all their money living the “baller” lifestyle instead of saving/planning ahead.
The concussions probably don’t help with decision-making skills. But, it looks like there are schemes/systems in place to try and minimize the risk of poor financial planning: pensions, 401ks, and other benefits. I think that’s neat.

CEOs… I dunno.
Well, CEOs do face the risk of meeting green-shirted plumbers, so maybe it’s just hazard pay?
I didn’t get hazard pay when dealing the irate, general public, so fuck em’. No harzard pay.
