You've shown a consistent ignorant liberal thinking this entire thread, so I don't believe you.
Whatever you say. If you want to go down that road youve argued like out of touch boomer the whole time. Which by no coincidence is the group most upset about this.

Even in this post you refuse to acknowledge the truth, that they are quitters, by trying to use the actions of other people to justify it.
You can try to justify it any way you want, but it doesn't change what it is.
Well no shite they quit the team. You don't seem to grasp that the way they word is used isn't in the literal sense of the worse but as a synonym for being a loser or someone who doesn't belong or is less of a man.
Subtext always did elude boomers though.
You've argued yourself into a circle here. You just proved yourself with your own words a hypocrite.

But I did finish my schedule.
And if you passed up a limited opportunity to vastly improve your life to do it, then you're an idiot.

You two need to chill. You’re both Bama fans. You got it made as fans. You and the dumbass calling you a liberal, are arguing about nonsense. The guy you’re arguing with may have autism.

You mean someone with life experience?

You can't be selfish and expect people to pretend like you weren't. If you want to make the selfish choice, you are free to do so. You are not free to decide how other people view you for those choices.
Kind of like if you work a fast food job, nobody is really going to think much of you for quitting. Nobody thinks anything of the kids who leave early for the draft(quitting) etc either.
But if you quit that fast food job in the middle of your shift and leave everyone else there fricked over and having to deal with your absence, then people are going to think you are a piece of shite loser.
And the same thing goes when you don't finish out the season with your team. It's like quitting on them and leaving them out to dry.
But I guess you aren't able to see the difference. It's not the act of quitting that draws those "subtexts", it's the circumstances around it.

Life experience that was useful 30 years ago and that hasnt been relevant since, yes.

This doesn't come remotely close to holding any water.
If they quit on the team in the middle of a game, then it would make sense. You're trying to stretch whatever you can to make your nonsensical argument work and it doesn't.

It still applies for other days as well. If you quit before your schedule is over, you are screwing them unless they have someone to replace you.
The degree to which you are screwing them is based on how important you are to them. If I quit my job tomorrow, my company would be fricked hardcore for many months because it would be near impossible to replace me.
So how important to the team do you think that super star is?
If you aren't important, then nobody gives a frick. If a walk-on decided to opt out, nobody cares. But when you are important and a big part of things, it's a different story.

By your logic players rated as high draft picks should quit as soon as possible after receiving their high draft grade, and it doesn't matter when that time is. Winning in college will never, ever trump the millions they could possibly screw themselves out of in the pros. Gotta buy momma that new house.

I wish the fans who criticize opting out would buy insurance policies for the projected high picks who play. Seems fair.
You forgetting tax payer money funding the institution? Oh ya, it’s not about education and amateurism. How about they pay for tuition now that they can get paid.
Or the tax paid stadiums and security and everything else.

And yet we never hear other players complain. In fact, the only ones who complain are delusional fans and coaches who are biased. Pretty much sums it up

A similar attitude flooded Rousseau’s DMs after he announced that he would forgo his junior year with the Hurricanes. Members of the program had cheered him on—“My teammates all told me, “Go train hard, chase your dreams, make sure you get paid!”—but some diehards were less sympathetic. “Obviously fans were mad,” Rousseau says. “I got a lot of hate on Twitter, telling me I’m a quitter, a sellout, that stuff.” The barbs stung at first, but Rousseau got used to them. “I saw it from their point of view, like ‘Damn, this dude opted out; he quit on the team,’ ” Rousseau says. “They’re feeling hurt by that. I understand it. It’s not personal.”
Hmmm...almost word for word what I've said

People are fooling themselves if they don't see that this is where the sport is heading. Maybe I'm being too doom and gloomy, but sooner or later these players are going to realize that the regular season is just as "meaningless" as the post-season when you aren't getting paid, are a high draft prospect, and the risk of injury remains throughout the season and not just in the bowl game.

I really wish there was a sonic near both these posters. I am opting out of this thread.

So are you saying that all of the college athletes that were potential 1st rd draft picks before this opt out shite started were a bunch of dumbasses for nearly a 100 years for not opting out for the bowl game? Or just quitting on the team at any point in time during the season?
No, I'm insinuating that its a business decision.
What they decide is their business regardless of how much it sucks for the fans, and team.
