No, I see it like this. The attitude he is carrying is immature, at least how he vocalizes his beliefs is. Its a life of financial stability that 90% of us will never see. Of course when you see it from our point of view it's cocky, brash and stupid to toss away the golden goose sitting right at your feet.
Hiding the way you think and acting as a professional athlete are two very different things. How many of these guys are just like him but can face the world and the media with some professional conduct and pleasing demeanor? Is it THAT hard to put on a face for 15 minutes a day and carry on in your private life they way you believe?
Apparently it is for him.
But whatever, like I said selfish pride is going to cost this extremely talented athlete and to jeopordize a lofty career in a professional sport because he can't walk around the media "stone faced and without character" or act like he is a part of the team.
