Don’t Make It Personal Dubinsky

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Memo to Brandon Dubinsky: if Jeter and Rivera could wait their turn, so can you; if Jeter and Rivera could understand and live within the terms of their respective sport’s labor agreement, so can you.
If that means that Dubinsky, now entering the fourth day of his Ranger training-camp holdout, plays for less money this season than Enver Lisin, who is in for $790,000, then so be it. Jeter didn’t take it as a personal insult that he played for less than Sojo.

Why shouldn’t Dubinsky take it personally? He plays for a team that over-pays almost every other player except what those that the team wants to claim as their future. While I don’t think Dubbi is worth $5 million or something crazy right now, expecting him to play for less than he made last year after the team went out and burned up its cap on other players is just ridiculous.

I think that is probably what bugs him the most. Not making less than other players on the team, or even making less than he could make on the open market, but making less than he did last year when his play has done nothing to warrant a pay cut.
In any other profession, a person is very strongly cautioned against taking pay cuts without a very good reason, as the numbers show that the money is never really made back.
