What gets me about the expensive dinners and so on is that it implies a culture of spending for the sake of being able to spend -- i.e., conspicuous consumption even among your peer players. This is not healthy, all things considered.
Some years back, there was a story saying that a star NBA player needed to spend $2 million or so per year to keep up appearances. WTF? I think they both had ghetto-background guys and Ray Allen types quoted in the story.
