What's wrong with athletes caring more about money than winning?

[Colin X]

I feel like some people forget it's a job

 

[NSSVO]

I don't, fukk all that shyt. Joe Johnson is living the life

 

[BlackAchilles]

I don't fault them for it at all, though at times the business aspect of the sport can obstruct the competitive aspect

 

[Shogun]

Nothing. There's also nothing wrong with fans of teams getting mad at that shyt.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Its something admirable about people like MJ and Bean. Money and power, but they played like they were starving. Rare breeds

 

[H. Selassie]

If they are actually playing up to the level of that contract AFTER they get it, nothing at all.

The problem with most of these guys is they play like a $100 Million Man to get the money, then become trash not too long after the big payday.

If it's a job like the OP said, you have to work at the level of your pay-grade.

 

[Damnshow]

do you pay money to watch people work or do you pay money to watch people entertain you?

This. As a fan you root for a guy to make it and get his big payday but once they get that payday and start acting like then its status

 

[Starboy52]

Nothing, but at the same time what's wrong with fans being fed up with complacency?

Him and Albert Hanyesworth are the two biggest examples of this. I call these guys Mid-Career busts (although Jamarcus got his payday closer to the beginning).

 

[lutha]

nothing

Tim Thomas and Eric Dampier who only played hard during contract years
