He and other sports players should be grateful to play for any team for millions of dollars..there are millions of ppl who are starving and homeless on this Earth...i lose all respect for any athletes who complain bout what team they playing for
If you make a lot of money you're not allowed care where you live?
Basically. And this isn’t a ‘lot’ of money, this is money beyond anybody’s wildest dreams. He can get a private jet and 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc homes and go whenever he wants.
Of course you can have a preference for where you want to be and make that decision when the time comes. You can even let a team know that you definitely won’t re-sign with them so they can obtain assets for you (this is actually preferred), but nobody is going to feel bad for you if you aren’t living in LA. If NBA players had similar contracts to NFL players, it would be a whole different story.
I'm not saying anyone should feel bad for Kawhi (Kawhi, especially) but I don't agree with the mentality that "athletes should never complain because they make a lot of money." You can be grateful and hard working and still not like your circumstances. I don't see a problem with voicing that.
