It has nothing to do with that fact that dmek doesn't make millions. It does have to do with the fact that like it or not, this guy is a role model, and due to his millions of dollars he is getting paid, he has a strong responsibility to the fans, the team, the owner, and to society.
If you went to your boss and wanted to be tranferred to a different section of the company, and he said no...then you did it again, and he said no...then again, and again, and again, and be a baby about it...what do you think would happen to you?
Those contracts they sign protect him and the team. Look at it from the team prespective...why would they want to lose someone of his caliber? They developed him, and they paid him big bucks, and he still wants to go???
CJ needs to be thankful that we as a society accept this behavior from our athletes, cause in the real world, that doesn't work at all.
