[QUOTE="Raleigh NC Packers Fan, post: 909259, member: 14725"] I don't know, I'm sure it's not what it used to be, but that is probably true of a lot of things. Without even knowing all of the facts and letting things play out, one thing that does really annoy me about this whole thing is that Rodger's contract is not up, he is not a free agent, yet I haven't heard anybody say that he better not sit out or be willing to criticize him if he does indeed refuse to play. I haven't heard any of the talking heads/sportswriters even discuss whether or not players should be able to do something like sit-out/refuse to play, demand a trade, or retire(then unretire with another team). I mean, unless Gute is being physically or mentally abusive to Aaron, he should play and finish out his contract. If a player really wants to go to another team, they are free to do so when their contract is up and they are a free agent. With that being said, I am not anti player/athlete like some are. Sure, there are questionable individuals in sports, but that is true of a lot of things, and they do sacrifice a lot/work extremely hard to play sports professionally, devoting most of their lives to the sport until they retire. Not to mention that without them, there is of course no sports, because they are the ones who actually play the games. Finally, I heard somewhere that the owners get over 50% of the revenue, yet it's the players, coaches, and GMs that do all of the work, and they only became the owner because they inherited the team or had a billion to throw around. You could also argue that too much money is put into sports and that everyone in sports is overpaid, but it's the fans that enable this. [/QUOTE]
