Uhhhh, NO !
If this was true. Why do alot of pro athletes in free agency, sign with a team that wasn’t the highest bidder ?
I mean... According to your very own words. It’s not even possible, right ?
Some athletes want to stay in a city they’ve played, and lived in for years.
Or, as they age, and approach retirement. I’ve heard about many athletes that wanted to sign with the hometown team they idolized as a child. You know... The old “ hometown discount.”
I’ve also heard of many athletes that said they want to win a championship, before retiring. Many pro athletes have played 10, 15, even 20 years. But, have NEVER won a championship. And, they know the odds of doing that are much better in certain cities.
Some pros have even taken a PAY CUT rather than leave a certain team. Not just a pay freeze at the same money of their previous contract. But, actually getting less money than they did.
Money IS NOT what it is about to EVERY PRO ATHLETE ALIVE.
You’re full of shit on this one.
