Lots of it.

As long as he didn’t want it back.

The loan profiled like Sandy Koufax during the first four years of the term

There was a mystery lender involved

The loan has transcendent intangibles

However, what’s the difference between this and what the NFL agents do for their players? in ’01, Will Allen, drafted by the giants, was robbed of over $100K in jewelry before he even signed a contract. His agent had loaned him money which, come to find out, is stand practice for most first round players.

That’s all this is. But really If anyone was taken advantage of it’s the guy who never got paid back for his loan. I’m sure all will be forgotten though if this kid continues to make boras $$$. 70 grand is alot of loot in the dominican wth did he need that for anyway?

I’m not saying that he should or should not be allowed to make a loan like he did, but to think he did it for any reason other than to curry favor with a potential client is naive, stupid, or both.

Hypocrisy much?
