The people who are the most loyal should be the ones you treat the best, not take advantage of their loyalty. A sub $4M contract would be taking advantage of his loyalty to a ridiculous degree. I have no desire to root for people who would do that. Some people for whatever reason do things against their own best interest. Does that mean we should stand by while others take advantage of them? Worse, do we cheer for the one taking advantage of them?
Silly or not, its my decision. If I decide to stop rooting for a team, who are you to tall me I'm wrong?
