Not at all.
The only real problem I have are guys like Hopkins that are just obviously full of shit. Hopkins has ONLY ever cared about money. And I've said it before about him - cool, do your thing man. It's your job, make your money.
But it ain't gonna be here. And don't bitch about not winning when you went to the team most willing to pay you and not the team most ready to win.
If you want to win - go win and don't complain about being underpayed. If you want to make full market value, go get paid and don't complain about not winning.
These are choices you have to make and either of them are defensible. It's the obnoxious hypocrisy that bugs me.
