Carl Banks quasi-defends T.O. on Sirius

When it comes down to it, I feel that atheletes AND a large number of singers and basically people who get by on looks/physical gifts are the ones who don't have any right to more money when they are paid a ridiculous amount anyway. I don't know what it is about pro athletes that feel because their team performs better they deserve more money.

Adrianna Lima might sell more panties for Victoria Secret but I don't see her holding out.

I think the argument that T.O. and Rosenhaus make is solid. Yes he signed a contract and theoretically should honor it, but teams cut players mid contract all the time so they are not living up to the contracts they sign either. The contract is an agreed upon amount of time for an agreed upon amount of money so why does one party have more rights to not live up to their end than another?

I've said the same thing Paintrain. Unfortunately, not many people agree with us.

I understand the whole idea but players like TO renegotiating contracts IS the reason a lot of people are cut. The more money he gets paid, like you said, is reasoning to cut someone else who ISN'T demanding that money.
