AaronM,Again you are missing the point of the thread. And I can't be bothered explaining it in baby words for you guys. "Paying to play" narrows the topic to our level of play. This was intended to be a discussion of an ethical nature. Millions of dollars pass hands in the NFL, money exchange is limited to the coaching ranks in the NCAA and well down here we put our own money into the league. Never the less, and let me put this here one more time for those who are having trouble comprehending the lead...
"With the likes of Terrell Owens, Tiki Barber and Randy Moss among a few others who speak out when they have a particular beef with their coach or a team mate, I'd like to ask... When is it cool to get back at that player by keeping them out of the club or league record books?"
Let me point out that there is no mention of 'leaving your club' or 'if you pay or get payed to play'.
