It’s voluntary. Do whatever you want Gronk.

Voluntary? That's the excuse you give him? So, not being a leader and showing up, but putting yourself at great risk while chasing a HOBBY, instead, is okay because the workouts are voluntary? When you are making millions to play football?

This kind of attitude is yet another example of how professional athletes are out of control. They play a game, they get paid like kings, and yet they think it's cool to just do what they want. And, apparently, some people are cool with letting them get away with that.

I'd tell any player who pulls this garbage to pack his bags and find someone else to pay him his unrealistic demands. He is almost ALWAYS hurt, anyway. And now he's doing this dirt biking, and thinks somebody owes him something?

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
