Will Hain -Broke

2. Pick one of the athletes profiled in the film. Write down his name and explain what you think was his greatest financial management mistake: ignorance, living beyond his means, trusting someone else to handle his financial health, not being able to handle the trappings of fame and fortune.

Andre Rison was a wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons. His biggest mistake was how he carelessly spent money. He spent a lot in clubs and bought a huge mansion, which his girlfriend eventually burned down. He finally had to declare bankruptcy when he failed to pay child support.

  1. Pharoah Sherod: I feel you could have put more listing in how he "carelessly" spemt his money, because Andre Rison is a very good example. You did remember to mention the fact that his wife burnt down his house. overall a good post.
