lets say a professional athlete went into a club. He/She ends up havin a gun a fight occurs ...gunshots...cops show up....pro athlete goes to jail...gets out in 2 days....does it again....gets out in 2 days. LOL Its the same with Celebs. They get treated like the rules dont matter to them because they are rich. If this would have happend to a normal citizen they would have stayed in jail for a couple years.

Money, Girls, Fame, VIP at the clubs, Nice house

disadvantages

Can't go out in public and have privacy. Everyone knows your relations, haters (like on here YA), not being around the family because of travel, The Media, The smallest charge everyone will know about, can't say what u want on Twitter or Facebook, U have to worry about gold diggers, Stress, Drugs, Jealous people while out.

All disadvantages don't apply to every athlete because some are not well known.For example Flip Murry can hit the club and go in public. People in the public wouldn't know who he was. Most wouldn't

you get a lot more money and get to play against the best in the world
