Feel like that says a lot about your drive then, no? He's not turning down 140k per week to be liked by others, he's turning down 140k and a season on the bench because he wants to play football. It's not like he's going to be earning 20k as a result. He'll get a decent contract (and is already sitting on loads of money, I'm sure) and he'll get to do what he loves: play football.
There are definitely players out there who are satisfied just getting a big paycheque, but you have to admire the players who would rather prioritize doing what they love over simply earning money and sitting on a seat for 38 games.
Nah, can't admire people who turn down big checks just to play football instead. Guess it is two ways street then.
Anyway, my drive... I'm never going to be rich, never even thought about it. Banking, business, boring jobs. I'm a scientist. It sounds a little bit dramatic but just to put it out there.
