Eh, the other side of that coin is a serious injury costing then a ~$40-50 million career would make them a bigger loser than skipping out on what are increasingly meaningless bowl games. Its not like basketball where your risk of serious injury is much much lower.
Yeah. But they will always be selfish losers with no sense of sportsmanship or loyalty. Just whores.
Ultimately they lose by skipping games. People won’t care about their game more than they do themselves.
