I remember reading an article in Sports Illustrated at the time that most players had to have off season jobs in order to survive; many were car dealers or insurance dealers (they were using their name & fame) to make a decent living. If the average players salary was $35,000 the average American made around $7,000. They were relatively well paid for what they did. Today, they are all overpaid.
