7. The relationship between performers's message of living expensively and athletic lifestyles is that they both have lots of money to throw around ( or so athletes think). Athletes can influence performers, but not vice versa. This is because for the most part, performers usually stay in the spot light for a long period of time. Athletes only have that career for up to 10 years. After that, they have to rely on endorsements or find a different source of income. If an athlete were to associate his/her self with a band, part of their fame would come from them. They would get used to the money that goes along with it. Buying expensive things and not even questioning it. If the band were to break up, that money would no longer be available. If the athlete was retired and wasn't managing their money well, it would be much easier to go bankrupt.
