Haynesworth is Behaving Selfishly

In any business situation where you require a team effort from 50+ people and everyone else is going "over and above" and you decide to only work your M-F, 8x5, you're a selfish person with no loyalty to your teammates or the organization. Period, end of story.

Your analogy is incorrect. I think a more accurate one would be.....'during our summer vacation period while the plant is closed, our company is offering voluntary training for all employees for the purpose of self improvement. While this training is free and beneficial to your career, it is not mandatory, it is voluntary. But if you do not attend this voluntary training your boss will publicly point you out and make you public enemy #1. But this how NFL coaches behave.

I think my analog is a lot closer to reality than yours is. Here's why:

- MS didn't start off OTAs right away, there was a "vacation period".
- The purpose of the OTAs is not self-improvement, it's for the improvement of the team. For the team to perform to its maximum potential all parts need to be in place for these OTAs or there will not be "maximum potential".
- While the training is voluntary, every other player made the committment to be there.

I understand AH doesn't have to be there, and I can understand not having loyalty to the employer who paid him an obscene amount of money even by NFL standards, but when every other teammate is there and you have no loyalty to the guys next to you play-in and play-out....then as I said he's "a selfish person with no loyalty to your teammates or the organization. Period, end of story."
