Isn't that funny how people hold athletes to higher standards than they hold themselves?

It's so strange, it really is. It's like people forget that these are just dudes playing a game for a living.

These same guys that go out of their way to criticize for things like this, doing what is best for him, are the guys who wouldn't hesitate to leave their current employer in a heartbeat for a better opportunity/huge raise because it's better for them and their family. Nothing wrong with that, but at some point you gotta stop and realize, these are actual people with actual families too, and it's ok for them to look out for themselves and put themselves first in some of these situations.
