I kinda laugh when I hear about how "righteous" professional atheletes are for taking "salary discounts".
Millions of average working folks take discounts all the time. Maybe they don't promotions and more money because it means shift work which would upset their family. Or they don't move to another city because they don't want to disrupt their children's schooling or they are helping taking care of elderly parents .
While I don't expect to any player to take a discount....if he doesn't want to, I don't think a player is being uniquely heroic if he does.
