The problem is that isn't really not a business just like any other, at least not like any other that I've ever been with (insurance and financial services arena). I can leave my company and go to another company if that other company is willing to give me more money. Zeke doesn't have that ability. He's under contract that he can't get out of, unless he signs a new deal from one single company. They OWN him, and his services, currently for the next two years. In what other business would that apply?He should try to maximize his worth. it's not bad behavior at all. Fans think these players owe them something. The NFL is a business just like any other. Would you take less money than you think you're worth to make your company happy? If so you're a sucker.
Sure he should try to maximize his worth, but he's not dealing with a true capitalistic system here. He can only try to maximize his worth to one company. It doesn't matter if Houston is willing to pay him $30m a year, they aren't able to.
