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.

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
