Vontae Davis showed courage in his shocking halftime NFL retirement
You’ve heard about him now, surely, ever since news trickled https://www.robgronkowskifanonlie.com/authentic-jimmy-garoppolo-jersey-sale-1_64.html
out that — gosh! — an NFL player had walked out on his team during a game and immediately retired.Cue the jokes. The Buffalo Bills were so bad, a <h2>Markus Kuhn Authentic Jersey</h2>
popular variety went, that players were now quitting in the middle of games. By Monday morning, Davis’ name was being substituted for any situation where a player might want to stop playing, such as Eli Manning after being on the receiving end of a crunching tackle. Thanks for that one, Shannon Sharpe. Radio talk show hosts were asking listeners to share their stories of when they walked out of a job.Blowhards like Rex Ryan — “get the hell outta here” — and Damien Woody — “I … want to fight this cat” — spluttered through furious indignation and said Davis had let down his team.All of which is why what Davis did might have been the bravest thing that happened last weekend.MORE NFL:This wasn’t someone checking out of their part-time job as a gas-station attendant and not being able to show their face to buy a six-pack there ever again. Davis knew the firestorm was coming, and he did it anyway.Going out when your heart, and body and mind are no longer in it is not cowardice. It is the opposite. Davis felt it deep within, a sudden realization that he was done, washed up, not mentally ready for the challenge anymore. A lot of people feel it. Few have the guts to act on it, especially when it means leaving money on the table.But what about the team, you say?

abandoned his team!Firstly, please explain how an outfit, even one as awful as the Bills, could possibly benefit by using someone on the field who has no wish to play even one more down?Yes, he left the stadium. Would it have helped if he’d stood there on the sidelines, or taken up residence in one of those empty seats left behind by disgruntled fans, who also left early?Davis wanted out of football enough to pay for it, in forfeiting a lucrative NFL contract. What would it have proven for him to stick around?Would that have stopped the team from slipping to 0-2?For all the detritus hurled in Davis’ direction, there is a shifting narrative in football. My goodness, it is shifting slowly, <h2>James White Authentic Jersey</h2>
but there is change, not only in the way sections of the public view football players but the way in which they see themselves. Nonsensical notions of duty and sacrifice that liken football to war were only ever lazy constructs leaned on by coaches lacking the imagination to motivate in any other way.If you’re cashing a salary, you should have a sense of responsibility to act, train and perform to the best of your abilities. That’s as deep as it goes. If you are prepared to walk away from all that, if all those millions are no longer enough to overcome the horror of putting your aching body and tired mind through another tour of torture, you owe nothing to anyone. Davis isn’t a hero, but he’s also not the bad guy. He was courageous enough to follow his <h2>Jimmy Garoppolo Authentic Jersey</h2>
convictions, to listen to the voice that told him to get himself away from the NFL as quickly as possible.If a football star decides he doesn’t want to play, he is leaving a game, not deserting his battalion on a field of war. There’s no treason here. He decided to forget about football and if football doesn’t want to thank him that’s perfectly fine, it can just forget about him, too.Follow USA TODAY Sports' Martin Rogers on Twitter @RogersJourno.Tre Jackson Jersey
