Haynesworth is Behaving Selfishly

[MTK]

Do the reasons really matter? In the end the guys aren't there. And it's not a big deal until the workouts become mandatory.

There you have it - the sticking point. I don't think that those on one side of this issue will ever convince those on the other side of the merit of their position. Nevertheless, I would be curious to know the number and percentage of people on this site who stand on each side of this issue.

How about putting up a poll on this topic, specific to AH? Let's find out what percentage of the people on this site think that it is a big deal that AH has chosen to skip the voluntary portion of the Redskins' off-season program (OTA's and mini-camps) versus those who think that it is not a big deal as long as he attends all of the mandatory events. Would you do that?

Yes they matter,say I don't have a contract ....I'm not stepping on the field without one that's good business sense that people can understand,say I'm not there becuase I think I know more then the coachs and don't need to learn anything new ....well that's a little bit different. Mattyk it does matter when you're trying to create team chemistry.

Funny that you dismissed the three guys from the Colts that I mentioned compared to AH. I think it is harder to build team chemistry with three guys out than just one.

Anyway, I brought up those guys from the Colts (and others who are doing the same) to show that players skipping voluntary workouts/OTAs is a normal thing in this league and people need to stop crying about it.

If players/coaches/fans/etc., etc., are so concerned about players skipping voluntary workouts/OTAs then they should make all workouts/OTAs mandatory.

Like I said to Mattyk the reason means alot to the other players .We sometimes forget that this is still a business and if it's for legit business reasons the other players understand .
I just don't believe it's a normal thing but it is a league wide thing and every team is having the same peoblem and most likely will be address if they ever get another contract .
