Former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis retired from the NFL in 2013 after a successful career that lasted nearly two decades. From the time he joined the league in 1996 to the time he left in 2013, the star athlete had earned more than $95 million. In retirement, Lewis, 41, has focused his energy on charity work and various business ventures. His most recent role has been serving as an advisor and ambassador for YieldStreet, an online investment platform founded in 2015 with the goal of connecting accredited investors to potential asset-based investments. Ray Lewis Overview | PointAfter According to Lewis, many athletes who enter professional leagues in their earlier 20s lack the financial know-how to establish the financial stability needed to keep them afloat after their contracts expire. Success like Lewis’s is rare for NFL players. According to Fox Business, the average NFL career lasts less than three seasons, and the average career earnings after taxes are about $4 million, though most players earn much less. “Everybody’s not signing a $20 million contract. Some guys are coming in and their signing bonus is $2 million,” Lewis told Fox Business. “At a 39.5 percent [tax bracket], you break that down, you may walk out with $1.4 million. So now you have to start managing that, but before you start managing that, you have to pay back everything you’ve spent.” Careful money management is a vital tool that Lewis is determined to share with young professionals looking to make their money last long after their careers have peaked. Lewis told Fox that too many young athletes become enamored by fancy cars and huge mansions and find it extraordinarily difficult to consider the long-term consequences. Larry French/Getty Images The former linebacker’s 17-year career allowed him to see how easily bad investments and reckless spending can ruin a talented player’s finances. Lewis noted that it “shocks the heck out of people” to see how much they’ve spent over the course of their contract period. A YieldStreet representative told Fox Business that the company has already returned $7 million in principal and interest to its clients. Each deal involves a minimum investment of $5,000 and a target yield of between 8 percent and 20 percent. For example, qualified users can invest in a $200,000 loan made to an NBA player, which is secured by that player’s $2 million contract, Fox reported. In 2013, Lewis was one of 16 NFL players who sued BT&T Bank, accusing the bank of allowing a dishonest financial advisor to make millions of dollars in unauthorized investments. Lewis noted that athletes who focus all of their attention on their playing careers often fall prey to crooked financial advisors. “We come into it and we’re 100 percent [focused] on being in shape, making it to training camp, getting a star position, all of these different things,” Lewis said. “And we do get a signing bonus of 20-plus million dollars, and what’s the first thing you do? You sign a 20-plus million dollar check over to a guy that you’re trusting. And once he starts breaking it down to do whatever he’s going to do with it, from that point, you no longer have control over your money.” Lewis told Fox that mistakes he made early in his career regarding wasteful spending and uninformed investments eventually helped him see the value in financial responsiblity. Now, Lewis advises young athletes to know how “every penny” of their money is being spent and invested as even small purchases can add up over time. “These young guys coming into the game, when I sit them down, when they leave me, their mouths are wide open,” Lewis said. “Because they realize, ‘Oh my God, I’m in trouble.’” “Realistically, unless you have your own entrepreneur thing going on, unless you have the right investments and the right people around you, to come back and keep up that type of lifestyle is extremely hard,” Lewis added. “And that’s why so many former athletes go broke.” Follow the author of this story on Twitter: Follow @carlyhoilman Read more stories from TheBlaze See What’s Happened to Target’s Stock in the Past Month Amid Transgender Bathroom Uproar Clinton Calls Trump’s Pro-Gun Policies ‘Not Just Way Out There,’ but ‘Dangerous’ Trump Campaign Retracts Claim That It Raised $6 Million for Veterans ‘Really, Hershey?’ Visitors Have Mixed Reactions After Hershey Park Announces It Will Allow Guests to Use Bathrooms According to Gender Identity George Zimmerman Accepts $250K Bid for Gun Used to Kill Trayvon Martin: Reports Source

An Oregon couple went out on a date back in March and left their 1-year-old son home with a babysitter. Image via Facebook/Joshua Marbury They returned later that evening to find the child screaming as the sitter slept on the couch. When they awoke the next morning, they were horrified to discover bruises all over their son’s face and body. Medical professionals and law enforcement later confirmed that the child had been abused. But even after the the babysitter confessed to hitting the baby, no arrests were made. The boy’s father, Joshua Marbury, took to Facebook Friday to voice his frustrations over an Oregon court ruling he claims protected his son Jacob’s abuser. The post quickly went viral, gaining nearly 185,000 shares in two days. Marbury wrote that multiple doctors pointed out handprints on Jacob’s body, and one detective informed him and his wife that the abuse could’ve killed their son. According to the Oregonian, Jacob’s parents learned Friday the case would not be prosecuted, despite photo documentation of the abuse, thanks to a 2012 Oregon Court of Appeals ruling that prosecutors say made it more difficult to file charges in abuse cases with victims who are unable to speak. “Something needs to be done,” Marbury wrote. “NOBODY can just hit a child and more to just get away with it because the child (can’t) verbally tell you.” In January 2015, the Oregonian published a piece titled, “Even pets are better protected than young kids under Oregon abuse laws, prosecutors say.” The piece explains that in order to convict a suspected child abuser of felony assault or criminal mistreatment, prosecutors must prove that the victim experienced “substantial pain.” The new law presented the possibility that children and adults who are not able to or do not want to articulate the extent of their suffering may never see justice. “A dead body cant tell you who killed them. Yet a baby isnt held to the same standard because he cant talk???? Well neither can a dead body. THATS BLASPHEMY,” Marbury’s post continued. The law does specify another option for proving a “physical injury” – that the victim suffered an “impairment of a physical condition.” Unfortunately for Jacob’s parents, however, the Oregon Court of Appeals has ruled that welts, bruises and shallow cuts do not count. “My trust with so many people is shot,” Jacob’s mother, Alicia Quinney, told the Oregonian. “This isn’t something we can move on from.” Quinney said she wants the law to be amended to better protect victims like her son. She also wants her son’s admitted abuser to be held accountable. Judging by the reception Marbury’s Facebook post received, it would appear that the couple will not have trouble finding those who sympathize with their grievances. Washington County Deputy District Attorney Dustin Staten, the prosecutor handling Jacob’s case, told the Oregonian he hadn’t previously seen the photos Marbury father posted to Facebook on Friday. “Seeing those photos has caused me to want to take a different path,” Staten said in a phone interview Saturday. Though investigative photos were taken in Jacob’s case, Staten said “there’s additional people I need to consult with based on those photos I’ve seen today.” Read more stories from TheBlaze See What’s Happened to Target’s Stock in the Past Month Amid Transgender Bathroom Uproar Clinton Calls Trump’s Pro-Gun Policies ‘Not Just Way Out There,’ but ‘Dangerous’ Trump Campaign Retracts Claim That It Raised $6 Million for Veterans ‘Really, Hershey?’ Visitors Have Mixed Reactions After Hershey Park Announces It Will Allow Guests to Use Bathrooms According to Gender Identity George Zimmerman Accepts $250K Bid for Gun Used to Kill Trayvon Martin: Reports Source
