Michael Thomas definitely hears it. So when these players say **** it and dip nobody can really be mad. Fans don’t often have loyalty to players.

It's a business, and players are commodities for the franchises, which is why fans should never be upset when players don't take a "hometown discount" to play for less than what they could get on the open market. Most, if not all, of us are first and foremost fans of the team, and fandom of individual players can change greatly with their performance on the field, actions off the field and where they play. Same goes for the coaches and the front office. It's a shame some feel the need to seek out these individuals and vent their frustrations directly at them. |
