Still, they try to negotiate for higher wages, and if they don't get it, look for better employment. The difference is, the door won't hit them in the rear on their way out, where as the pro athletes can't get the door open without making waves. I'm not saying it's fair, or not. That's not my department. I do know that the money they makes comes with a lot of restrictions, and they have a choice out front, of going down that path, or taking a job in another field.I spent quite a few years of my life working under contracts. I understand them fully. It doesn't change the fact that even when you're under contract, you still have the desire to advance yourself, and make more money. I renegotiated a couple of mine midstream.The difference is, my unhappiness with the contracts wasn't hashed over in the media, and I wasn't called a traitor, etc, because I wanted to renegotiate. Athletes live in a fish bowl, and everything they say, and do, becomes a pissing match in the media because of fans. And yes, I even had two military enlistments. I did a hitch in the Army, and another in the Air Force. Both of them were a form of contract, because they held specified dates of duration.</blockquote>
