Every generation is different. The Millennials are uniquely different than my Generation X. They are a generation that doesn't respect authority, age, or status as their predecessors did. They expect those in charge to earn their respect rather than recognize titles.
This posses problems in careers that are built upon those traditional hierarchies as you may find in the military, police, and organized sports.
A millennial believes they are entitled to certain privileges and opportunities upon being hired. Hence the super star athletes who have been catered to their entire lives (21-27 years) believe they to are entitled hito thee highest salaries and statue.
EzE is a prime example of said entitlement. He agreed to his contact, yet his millennial ego is so fragile, he's demanding a contract compatible to the highest of stature....the team's QB.
The Millennials have done their best to damage the image of the NFL from the outside, and now they have began their campaign from within. They don't care about the team, but they are only "Out For Self."
The days of reconstruction of a player's contract for the betterment of the team is dead. Think about it, no millennial has done that as of late.....
You do know that restructuring a contract actually helps the player right? Because it moves base salary into bonus money that the player gets immediately, rather than having to wait for game checks.
Maybe you should put on your spectacles and read about it sometime.
