But football is not guaranteed each and every day.”The star wide receiver added, ‘I know for a lifetime I’ll always have the respect of my brothers Kelce, Pat and the rest of the team…One thing I got to do is I got to look out for my kids. I want them to have what I had, but 10 times more.”Tyreek Hill continued, “That’s what I was looking out for. I was doing it for my family. I was thinking of the future.

Come on”.For the unversed, Tyreek Hill reportedly has 10 children with multiple women, including one with his estranged wife.While Tyreek Hill seems focused on the well being of his children, his reasoning behind leaving the Kansas City Chiefs have raised eyebrows.A fan took to X and wrote, “He would’ve won more championships and then more endorsements deals. He would’ve made the same either way Darin B.”Another fan posted, “I hate when athletes act like 12 million more allows them to “feed their family.” That is a crock of crap. He has spent more on women than any of his kids I guarantee that.”A third fan wrote, “This whole mentality of “I wanna give my kids everything I didn’t have, 10x more” is such a narcissistic and self-centered logic. You’re making it about what you “didn’t have” and trying to rectify that through your children. Teach them to earn, don’t just give them everything.”
