Why do football players sign contacts ?

Question

Only to break them before the contract is up. They demand more pay or their NOT going to play . Why don't the owers have a written clause in the contact that if you refuse to play or show up at training camp before the contract is up then they should be docked 1/2 of their year salary and made to sit the first 6 games w/o pay. I mean we hard working folks can't break our contracts with our emoplyer. Well the one who still have jobs here in the USA anyways

Answer 1

Extreemley true, its something that dwells in my mind also.

Yeah the sitting the games without pay thing is good, i mean contracts are just 'over used' these days, its like you die without one!
