Bingo! I think that before we all call this guy a bad person and a selfish jerk.
At least not because of this. There are other reasons to call him selfish that we actually have facts to back up.

Try 12 hours a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year.
Fans have this fantasy that all teammates like each other and are friends. Sports teams are like every other work enviornment. Some guys are close, some guys are casual freinds, and some guys just plain don't like each other.
I wasn't aware he was related to Hill.
More fuel that Samuel is more true to his "GET PAID" tattoo than he is to the team that made him what he is.
A key point, I think -- is it true? What about other guys who, like Samuel, were on the roster last year but not this year so couldn't just hop the company charter straight from OTAs? Was TBC there? Graham? If not, I don't want to disparage Samuel's character.
Well said. People make way too big of a deal about this. I wonder if anyone gave any thought to the idea that he thought his presence might have added tension to an event that probably didn't need any. If he had gone, people would be ripping him thinking he went only to enhance his reputation. A no win situation IMO.
I disagree. It would have been like Seymour showing up for the ring ceremony while he was holding out. All he had to do was tell the press and everybody else "Today isn't the day to talk about that stuff".
I thought so. When he says, "It's business," I believe him, and understand that you have to separate the business from team/teammate/fan loyalties.Wow, not showing up for Hill's wake/funeral is REALLY taking it too far. That's something I think Asante will look back on with regret someday, maybe soon. That's just ******* pathetic.
