Sports are a completely different animal when it comes to contracts. One thing the NFL should do (but they never will because the owners are greedy) is have arbitration like in baseball. If you outperform your contract, you should be able to negotiate.

Is asking for a raise synonymous with not showing up to work?

I know sports are different. I’m not comparing his job to mine.

Cutting players isn’t a violation of the contract. Teams are allowed to do that. I’m not sure why you’re comparing that. Yannick not showing up to mandatory practices is a violation, so he’ll likely get fined for it. 

I don’t care if he’s asking for a raise because he deserves it. I have a problem with not following the contract you signed because you don’t like it now.

But he is fullfilling the contract by being fined. 
The fines are a part of the contract. Yan is doing what he can within the structure of the contract. Its the same as a team cutting a player and being "fined" by dead cap.
