If you went to your boss and wanted to be tranferred to a different section of the company, and he said no...then you did it again, and he said no...then again, and again, and again, and be a baby about it...what do you think would happen to you?
Those contracts they sign protect him and the team. Look at it from the team prespective...why would they want to lose someone of his caliber? They developed him, and they paid him big bucks, and he still wants to go???
CJ needs to be thankful that we as a society accept this behavior from our athletes, cause in the real world, that doesn't work at all.

The big difference that you are not seeing is that after asking for a transfer because you are not confortable or not happy working with the people you are working for and your boss says no....you have a choice. You can quit and go elswhere. Perhaps even to another state and find a similar job. Ther players can't. What's he gunna do go to semi-pro, or Canada? His only possible reactions to no you can not seek a trade is
1. play quietly and leave when you get a chance.
2. throw a tempertantrum and hope the team trades you.
