If you’ve been paying attention, and if you live in Pittsburgh of course you have, the Steelers and Le’Veon Bell have been trying to work out a long term deal. Apparently, the Steelers didn’t think he was worth the money he was asking for. So instead they used the franchise tag. Now the poor man has to try to scrape by on fourteen and a half million next year.
Many of you know how hard it is to get by on a mere fourteen and a half million a year. There’s a lot of sacrifice and doing without. That’s why Le’veon is saying he doesn’t know if he will be able to show up for the whole season next year. He’ll probably have to take on a second job to supplement his income.
If he’s passing out samples at Costco, he’s not going to be able to make it to practice. Plus if he can pick up a shift on a Sunday, he’ll have to skip the game. Can you blame him for not wanting to try to survive on the measly 900 thousand a week the Steelers are offering?
That’s why we’re going to set up a Go Fund me page here, to help Le’Veon make ends meet. There will also be a series of fundraisers and bake sales for the Le’Veon Bell fund. Why should he have to choose between steak and lobster, when he can have both?
Wouldn’t you have loved to see him ask Bob Nutting for fifteen million a year?
“Fifteen million! What do you mean twelve million? I can’t give you eight million. Where am I supposed to get four million?
