(S17) - PT3 - AB is crazy

[Modern_Duke]

I initially struggled in trying to think of the best way as a player to get booted from a team. The problem is, as we have seen in real life in the Antonio Brown situation, teams will always give you a chance if you are talented enough. So instead I tried to think of it from the opposite approach: what would it take as a GM for a player to be so crazy that I would have no choice but to get rid of them? Other than the obvious answer of getting involved in some criminal actions, a player has to be an obvious distraction for the team. Maybe they are complaining about being played out of position, or don't get along with the coach, or don't get along with teammates. That's a decent start, but it may take some truly wild actions to sever ties. Sleep with the owner's wife. Fight a mascot. Claim that the earth isn't actually flat, it's a cube.

However, the most powerful weapon a player has though is pretty simple. Once again, we just saw it in real life with Antonio Brown. Hot air balloons, frostbite scares, and equipment issues mean nothing. The easiest way out is just ask for your release (as long as the team if off the hook financially, that is).
