I'm really starting to dislike this guy. Not only does he not honor his 5-year contract, the guy can't take a joke. Crybaby.
Hey, Zeke. When you sign a 5-year deal, that means you play for FIVE YEARS and then you can negotiate a new deal. Am I the only one who thinks when you agree to something you have to keep your word? And it's not just his word. He signed A CONTRACT. The contract says five years, SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE OBLIGATED TO!
I can't stand this agree to do one thing and then do something else BS. You sign your name on a piece of paper agreeing to do something, and then that's what you do! Agreeing to one thing and then doing something else is dishonorable. I don't respect people like that. Does a man's word not mean anything anymore?
He's lucky I'm not the comish. If I were, I would never accept anything other than players living up to what they agreed to do. I would insist on a rule that if an able-bodied player doesn't honor his contract, he's kicked out of the league for life. I would do whatever it takes to get that rule. If it causes a player strike, then so be it. I would hire replacement players and not budge until the regulars either come back or the replacements just end up the permanent players.
Enough of this crap! Honor your contract or you're GONE!
I'm guessing a lot of people would hate my guts if I were comish. Oh, well.
