September 12 the moula 

No one else blinks an eye at the money sports stars make over here .Theres nothing new in the big money that athletes earn but as an Aussie seeing this day in day out , it just feels out of whack . Take this bloke Aaron Donald who plays for the LA Rams NFL team .He was signed as a rookie for 3.2 million a season for 3 seasons . His position is known as a defensive tackle . He had a break out opening season and called out the Rams for an immediate upgrade . The Rams wouldn’t come up into the big money.The best players in the NFL playing his role average a lazy 10 million per year . So Aaron says I’m not coming to training and I ain’t gunna play wi ju guys until I see da green . The Rams ended the dispute today and will pay him  an estimated 7 million clams next year and then a new mega contract will be in play . When it comes to the cash the individual is always bigger than the team . I just watched an amazing little doco on a bloke called Calais Campbell . Check it out on YouTube it’s only 15 mins . The money that is bandied about is extraordinary, I had goosebumps all over . These sports guys become a business unto themselves . Their whole extended family can potentially be set for life off one contract and only one year out of that deal would be needed. The rest you could keep to yourself .You live in this country and stuff like this reminds you you’ve just slithered out  of the little pond straight into the orca playground . Deres a lot of big fish swimn round here.
