Different situations for sure, but even still, both players chose to leave in their primes. When talking about honouring former players I don't think there's much difference. They both told the team, city, and fans that they didn't want to be here. One method might have been more respectful, but the message was the same.
Don't want to be here? That's fine. I hold no ill will to either guy as human beings. But don't expect me to treat them like heroes when they return.
