Problem (#4)

I haven't read the article, yet, but I have a major problem with the title and the first line.

"Should I stay or should I go?" was not written by Joey Ramone or done by the Ramones. It was done by the Clash, and therefore written by either Joe Strummer or Mick Jones.

Great article, good writing, good topic...BUT multiple spelling errors! Fix those up, but regardless it's a good article. I understand what you are saying, I think you make good points, and now I'd like to voice my opinion, opposing yours.

I think, DESPITE the big bucks, one needs to get their degree before going pro. Unless it's a player who has no future other than football, I think the player needs to stay loyal to their schools and get themselves a diploma. Most careers will be over by what, age 35? So what do they do after that? Sure, they'll be rich, but they'd want to be able to do what they were working towards their whole lives.

They will have so many options that a college degree won't matter. Broadcasting, coaching, and a number of other jobs within the game regularly fall to the retired player. The money that they made by leaving early accumulates and either allows them to retire comfortably or gives them the capital to become business owners, etc. If I made 600 thousand dollars for 10 yrs, I would be well enough off not to have to depend on my college education.

but I don't see any spelling errors. If you could point them out, I would appreciate it.

I thought it was the Ramones. Thanks for the help.
