I don't suppose he offered to take a pay cut so the team could afford to bring in some of that extra help he was allegedly clamoring for, did he?
Yeah, well I made it about you, dumbfuck.

I thought he was a class act who made a bad decision, as far as the timing of his retirement is concerned. But that isn't even my claim. My claim was simply harboring a grudge over the result of said decision is completely useless. I don't exactly look toward pro athletes as uncanny decision makers anyway. And I can tell you right now, as a Lion fan, and someone who interacts with Lions fans on a daily basis in the state of Michigan, that I never meet anyone who feels "fucked over" as a result of his actions. You simply making that claim does not mean people feel that way. At that immediate time there were people who were upset and confused, but what once was, is now virtually nonexistent. I'd like for you to go ahead and generate a list of people who feel that way. Of course, you don't interact with Lions fans, you don't read our papers or listen to our radio, so this should be a challenge for you. I'll be waiting.mvscal wrote:Since you're here why don't you go ahead and make your case for Sanders being a class act. Nobody is going to stop you. Any day works for me.
Now that doesn't really address your original question now does it?mvscal wrote:Gee...I don't know. Maybe the fact that the only time he ever gave any money back to the club was when the Lions had to sue him to recover part of his signing bonus after he quit like a petulant little bitch.
Ahh yes, the opinion of one bitter old fuck in southern california OF COURSE instantly turns a hateful insult into "fact". You're proficient at attempting that, but you aren't effective at it.Yes, it was a bad decision. A bad decision that finally exposed him as a classless, self-absorbed fuckhead.

Your employer doesnt owe you shit (read the employee handbook..) and you dont owe him shit either. Most professionally employed people working for a corp can be fired in an instant for any and no reason..
