I have zero issues with an elite player like Yhomas and Bell wanting to get paid what they deserve from their team that makes 20x what they will ever make. Thomas was selfless enough to be there for his team on game day when he wanted/deserved a new contract and it bit him In the face. I don’t blame him one bit for the gesture and I hope he mouthed a nice little Eff you to the owners box

What makes you think we don't realize that?

I think a lot of us simply think that they should take that into consideration when they initially sign the contract. You can't take the signing bonus, play a year or two, and then complain that you aren't getting paid what you're worth. If you're willing to hold out, hold out before that bonus and make sure you get everything you want.
