llow, it's easy to say you'd play for free when you're preforming well, winning, etc. It's entirely different when you're going through a tough training cycle or just plain old not performing. That's when it's WORK, even if you're not getting paid for it.
For me, it was being 6 miles into a 20 mile run on a hot, humid day in August all alone and realizing that it just plain old sucked to be there, regardless of how much I knew it would help me in the long run.
Most of the time, practices just plain old suck. You don't get paid to practice, but if you don't practice you'll never get paid. And that is the reason I think that this OP sucks. It fails to realize how anyone who can possibly hope to make a living at sport has to practice just to even begin to consider the possibility. Greedy? Hardly.
