You're arguing with yourself. I never said the norm was that players sit out when they're healthy. That was a straw man shoved in my mouth by somebody else. I used the word "norm" (which bothers you so much) in the context of how they- players, agents, coaches, managers and owners alike- prioritize their financial well-being over the interests of the football team. For them the world invariably revolves around how much money they're bringing home, not the performance of your FF team. Some of the time (most of the time?) the two are in alignment. But not necessarily. This is common sense.
You can get mad at me all you want. You can use font size 100 lol. But there is more of a human element to this game than you let on. Most of these players are tough as nails, but none of them are Roman Gladiators. They are all breadwinners, though.
I'm not even saying Tee will miss the game! Good lord. How would I know. I just said that I'll be watching given how the Bates situation played out, and how they share the same agent. If you don't think it'll be a problem and that one has nothing to do with the other, more power to you. You might even be right. Zac has laid a strong culture and these guys seem willing put their heads on the line for each other (for better or worse). Last year Hendrickson, Wilson, Sample, Chido, Mixon, Tee himself and others all played through significant injuries in a way I wouldn't have previously expected from this team. In fact, Hendrickson came back from a concussion like Tee. So if last year is anything to go by, he'll be back asap. But if the context has changed on account of Bates (not the craziest argument in the world) players may be a bit more vigilant moving forward...
May- not will.
You type so many words just to go back on the argument you continued to try to make and got called out for. You said you would be "shocked if he played this week" because his agent wants him to not get hurt and that you "expect these players to be taking their jolly time recovering from injuries this year". You then in another post stated "it's not that they don't care about football, it's just that they don't care about it as much as the bottom line." Further indicating you think he's going to pull a Cordy Glenn.
Just because people call you out on your long winded nonsense doesn't meant they're being defensive or mad.
Also I do this from my phone so I can't really see big changes in font size.
