I think this is a huge mistake and I understand everyone is socially sensitive about everything these days, but he had a positive year then signs a new contract with a team then decides that its in his best interest to sit out. If I were in his position and this was a career that I felt strongly about I would put myself in isolation and focus on the season not opting out. That being said I'm aware I don't know the reasoning behind this and he may very well have a valid resason for making this decision, but ultimately decisions like this leave lasting impressions to those who pay his salary.
