When people finally get fed up and stop supporting these guys, they will all be out of a job and instead of saying "I don't play for anyone but my teammates", they can start saying "You want fries with that?".
If you want to "blame" someone for the outrageous salaries paid and the attitudes of pro athletes, then blame those who pay to see them, buy their merchandise and buy the products of those who sponsor them.
