@spacecrime,
Regular 9-5ers aren't in the same position. That's why I used military in my comparison, working as a unit,success depends on it. I don't mind when guys leave their teams for money. I don't expect that type of loyalty to team, fans etc . I exepect they are as one with their teammates on the team they are on, that's all. It's about the team functioning as a unit, not about, well I like these guys and this team so I can't leave for more money. It's a mentality, just like how these guys can make themselves play through godawful injuries so the don't lose their jobs/let their teammates down. |

But this isn't about the game or the team, it's a business decision to protect his future earnings. |

To all of those who are fine with this (IOW, everyone but me): how do you feel about a guy dogging it while he's in a contract year so he won't get hurt and preserve himself for FA? Is this just a matter of professional vs. soon to be pro to you? Or something else? |

What I don't care about is if a player doesn't want to play in preseason. I know it is still a team, but I don't see dogging it in the preseason to avoid injury in the same light of a real game. I guess that also sums up my feeling about bowl games, which I see as exhibition games. If a player refused to play a game during the season I'd feel differently, but still not nearly as much as a pro player. For me the difference is MONEY. A pro player has a contract and a job. A college kid is playing a game with friends. Pay the college kid like the pros and I will re-think my position. This really isn't an issue for logical arguments. It really is a reflection of how we all feel in sum of a lot of things. I don't see an absolute right or wrong, but I understand how you feel and how I feel. We both just bring different things to the table, like the first pick in the draft and Mr. Irrelevant. |
