NFL Star's Debt a $100 Million Cautionary Tale

from Bloomberg Business of Sports · host Bloomberg

Scott Soshnick and Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the financial troubles of Washington Redskins star Adrian Peterson. The highest paid running back in NFL history, Peterson is being sued for allegedly defaulting on a $5.2 million loan and has other creditors, all despite making over $100 million over his career. An attorney for the 34-year-old said he was "taken advantage of." Also discussed is the Pac-12's announcement that it is considering playing football games that start at 9 AM Pacific time, in an effort to boost its exposure across the country. The pair also talk about the first Fortnite World Cup, which paid its winner $3 million.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
