Re: Haynesworth is Behaving Selfishly

I think my analog is a lot closer to reality than yours is. Here's why:

- MS didn't start off OTAs right away, there was a "vacation period".
- The purpose of the OTAs is not self-improvement, it's for the improvement of the team. For the team to perform to its maximum potential all parts need to be in place for these OTAs or there will not be "maximum potential".
- While the training is voluntary, every other player made the committment to be there.

I understand AH doesn't have to be there, and I can understand not having loyalty to the employer who paid him an obscene amount of money even by NFL standards, but when every other teammate is there and you have no loyalty to the guys next to you play-in and play-out....then as I said he's "a selfish person with no loyalty to your teammates or the organization. Period, end of story."
