I would turn it down in a heart beat. Not all of us are clamoring to work a Major League game or even better a Minor League game. I am sure there are people that would disagree, but there are many things bigger than just me. I live for principles that are more important from getting a one time shot that is not going to help me in the long run. I fell the way about this situation and I felt the same way when the NFL was in a similar situation about 3 years ago. I do not believe in cutting the throats of people for my own personal gain.
I agree with you on one thing, this is an individual decision, but that is not a decision I am going to make. I would hope others will feel the same way, but if you want to sell your soul for a shot that will not be there when everything is settled. Be my guest.
Peace
