The contract explains what will be paid out as services are rendered over a course of years. If services are not rendered, the payouts change. There is no honor or dishonor here. This is not like a marriage. It's not even like a mortgage.

This is a contract that stipulates how much a player will be compensated for his services. No matter how much you may want to diminish that, it is a contract very much like any other. If Yannick doesn’t provide those services, he may be sued (admittedly unlikely). It has happened to other players. 

I think you, and others, may believe I take this more seriously than I do. I don’t think this makes Yannick a bad person, and I don’t care as much as some may believe. I just don’t understand the mindset players have where they believe that not showing up to work shouldn’t inspire a team to hand them more money.
