“People make comments saying I’m robbing. No. When I got that contract, I was playing at a super high level. Unfortunately, I had injuries. But for somebody to say that, it’s disrespectful. [But] people can say what they want to say. They’ve got to live with it. At the end of the day it all catches up with you.”
It’s not disrespectful. The people saying this don’t get their full paychecks when they’re injured. If they’re unable to work at the factory / office / etc., they get disability, which is significantly less than full pay. They spend their hard-earned money to watch the best in the world play, not sit on benches in designer clothing.
