I like the very last sentence. 

Quote

With injuries to their linebackers accumulating in the middle of the third quarter Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams, the San Francisco 49ers turned to veteran De'Vondre Campbell to enter the game.

Campbell declined the invitation. 

Then, in the fourth quarter, Campbell walked to the locker room with a towel over his head without playing a snap. After the Niners' 12-6 defeat, head coach Kyle Shanahan explained that Campbell elected not to enter the game even though linebackers Dre Greenlaw (knee) and Dee Winters (neck) were dealing with injuries. 

"He said he didn't want to play today," Shanahan said. 

——

It wasn't until injuries to the other linebackers that Campbell revealed he didn't want to play, a decision that angered Ward, who played only weeks after the death of his 1-year-old daughter.

"He's a professional," Ward said. "He's been playing for a long time. If he didn't want to play, he shouldn't have dressed out. He could have told them that before the game. I feel like that was some selfish s--- that he did. It definitely hurt the team. Dee went down and we needed a linebacker. ... So, for him to do that, that's some selfish stuff to me, in my opinion. He's probably going to get cut soon, so it is what it is with that."

Started the whole season and lost his job just because( another player returns from injury.)  It's funny to me because there are quotes from Shanahan and Kittle about being dressed and ready to play.  Maybe that was EXACTLY his attitude.  "I've been here all season.  Why ain't I playing?"  "Oh NOOOOOW you need me Ole Brokedick can't go?  Fuck off!"

 

i think the phrase du jour is " I don't condone it, but I get it."

Samuel has become such a beating. A fat diva who whines, complains about touches but finds a way to drop a gift of a throw tonight for a TD that would put San Francisco in prime shape to win the game. 

He'll never be the same after community notes murdered him on X for his league leading dropped balls

People quietly or partially quit the job in all roles and industries. If someone isn’t gong to give 100% on the field you don’t want them on the field. I watched Arian foster mention how he knew in the middle of a game that he was done. Not due to an injury but rather he didn’t care about playing.

also bs when another player calls you selfish for you actions. They have no idea what is going on with him.
