Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Owens, a star earning almost $80 million, should know how to handle his finances. But it seems he’s been taken for a ride by Mesalam.
Mesalam’s alleged theft is just one more example of athletes getting taken advantage of by those who are supposed to have their backs.
Owens’ story has a familiar ring to it – a player making millions, yet struggling to manage his finances. It’s a pattern we’ve seen before.
In the end, Owens is left to pick up the pieces and move on, but not before taking to Instagram to air his grievances.
Original Observation: This is a classic case of an athlete getting taken advantage of by those who are supposed to be helping him.
