-What issues?
-Yeah, he slapped the mother of his children when he wanted to get his kid baptized. I won't defend that and never have. He went to counseling and they are still together. Greg Lloyd put a gun in his son's mouth and everyone loves him. Larry Fitzgerald hit his girl while she was holding their infant and then grabber her by the hair and slammed her face to the ground.
-Reading comprehension must not be your strong suit, seeing as I covered the hospital in the post you're quoting.
-Same as above. He tried showing them the way and the lazy children wanted something different.
-Skipped meetings after being promised playing time, not getting it, asking to be released multiple times, not getting that either. Like I said, he wants to get out there and play the last snaps he'll probably ever have a shot at. They told him he would have that, so he stayed! Then when it wasn't working out, he wanted to part ways, but they strung him along. I seriously wrote all this already.
-He cleared waivers. Nobody wanted him. The Pats called, he said he hesitated, but in the end he wasn't going to wait for the Steelers to maybe-but-probably-not call and give him snaps. I would too if I were 40. He loves the game and he isn't ready to stop getting snaps if he can.
Ignore the facts if you want to.
Don't think I haven't tried.
My answer would be yes to all of that, definitely!
But the team has to hold up their end of the bargain as well. And in this instance, Harrison signed his contract under the pretense that he would be rotating in at only 25% in his likely final season of his career, his last chance at snaps (and lucky enough, for a meaningful team). Things changed and the team couldn't/wouldn't play him, so he asked to part ways and find snaps elsewhere. Instead of doing right by him and giving him the opportunity for snaps elsewhere, they said, "no, we have the leverage because we have our part of the deal on paper and you don't. It's just business, we can't let you go somewhere else! But we also can't play you even though we said we would. Now please, bend over and do right by us and be a good example for everyone, thanks. Stuff down the competitor in you, the thing we needed and used for your career with us. Better luck next life." They created the problem. Now they are saving face by letting the kids spout off to the media like "badasses".
It really comes down to whether you expect the organization to be as wholesome and loving as they pretend to be. You can't have it both ways. You can't expect the players to be all about the team, **** business while letting the team flake on being there for the players for business reasons. That's complete bullshit.
"On January 8, 2017, he recorded ten combined tackles, sacked Matt Moore 1½ times, and forced a fumble in a 30–12 AFC Wildcard victory over the Miami Dolphins."
So not even a year ago he was killing it in the playoffs for us. **** him for thinking he has more left and wanting to play.
