I thought about Berlin humor/irony, but without cars. Here in Berlin, we don't need cars for standing on the streets. :)– user unknownSep 8, 2011 at 11:19

„Auf der Straße stehen“ in this context means to be unemployed; the sentence says that there's a high risk for young (soccer?) players to lose their job in case of injuries or if their club becomes insolvent.
