Yes, I have received bonuses. A nice thing about receiving a bonus is that you can choose what to do with that money. Each bonus I receive goes straight to my kids' tuition.

Now here's a question for you... How many zeroes does it take for the cost of a trophy to be excessive?

For me, once you've hit three zeroes you've gone too far - no matter what the trophy stands for. Trophies are most often nothing more than conversation display pieces that usually do nothing but collect dust. Kraft hit six zeroes five times with this one event. To me, that was a grossly excessive waste of money.
Do you complain every time someone wastes their own money? I mean, the entire NFL season is a gross waste of money from a lot of the world's perspective.

What does the amount of zeros have to do with it.
Id bet you'd bitch up a storm if you helped your job profit million dollars and all you got was Grand bonus

Complain, no. Roll my eyes, yes.

I agree with "a lot of the world's perspective" on a lot of NFL expenditures. I dislike big business and big government financial waste overall, but I'm not the guy who starts clubs and pickets over it. I roll my eyes, say 'that's dumb' and get on with my life - as I intend to do here.

Breaking News: People spend a lot of money on stuff they don't need. The more disposable income you have, the more you spend on things you don't need.

Big government is by definition financial waste, so I agree with you there. But in that case, they are spending money that has been coerced from people instead of voluntarily given, so there's a difference.

A business spending their profits on luxuries is not in the same ballpark as it's actually their money to spend. Like I said, people in general spend a lot of money on stuff they don't need. The larger a person's checkbook, the more money they typically spend. Criticizing an extravagant lifestyle would make me a hypocrite because to many people in the world, I live one. The amount spent on luxuries is irrelevant to the principle that you are advocating for, which is the principle that excess money should go to more worthwhile causes.

I'm sure they do... and they could do more if they didn't waste all that money on those stupid rings.


Typical.
If you can give, you more.
If you can give a lot, you can give a lot more.
Democrat perhaps?

What? I'm exhibiting a conservative stance through the disapproval of cost and waste of those useless rings. My citations of giving back to the community were just generic examples of better use of five million dollars.
