some of them also get divorced due to cheating. you have to understand how much p***y is thrown as you as a professional athlete. these women hardly ever see their husbands while they are on the road.Fame and money go a long way which explains both why professional athletes are swimming in women and why the vast majority of them end up divorced once their days in the spotlight are over. Once the cash flow and limelight start to fade the female moves on to greener pastures.
but yes, women these days are addicted to fame and want to get on shows like "Basketball wives" so that they can further their careers. Usually this kind of thing ends up in really messy situations, with multiple baby mamas, etc. If I were an athlete, I wouldn't get married, but that's just me.
