Are you intentionally torturing the argument? "Cool?" What the hell are you talking about?
I am saying that when a team decides not to honor a contract or will not renegotiate a contract that is overwhelmingly in their favor based on a player's performance, most people think of it as a cool-headed, detached, arm's length business decision that the "team/ownership" is making because it is in the organization's best interest.
When a player attempts to treat the relationship on that level and wants to renegotiate a contract that is no longer anywhere near market, they are perceived as a whiny, bitchy, spoiled, ungrateful asshole who doesn't know how good he has it. It is no longer looked at as a business decision. It is simple greed. Reporters, fans and pretty much everyone else look at it that way. I think that's bullshit.
