Re: Why the backstabbing?

I don't wish bodily harm to any players, current or former redskins, as well as rival players, but like many other fans, after hearing pierce and smoot talk so much about supposedly wanting to come back and feeling good about where the team was going and then at the first whiff of more money from another team they bolt. I understand for most of these guys that its a "get my money while I can" attitude, but I honestly didn't expect to see 2 key guys from our team say all the things they said and then leave so they could get more money or fame. These guys already have more than most of us will have in a lifetime, but it's always "I gotta get more while I can" and personally I hate that about pro athletes. Real team leaders take less to be with THEIR team(atleast for a short while), thats why I have mad respect for players like Darrel Green and Tony Gwynn, because they had chances to bail for more money and/or rings but they didn't. The guys who just left didn't show us loyalty(not that they really need to anyway) so I'm just returning the favor and giving them a nice up yours back at 'em. And the FO should in no way be bashed because they for once decided to keep the pay in check and not hand out contracts richer than those already on the team who are better players at the same or similar positions.
but then again that's just my
