If you mean not being satisfied with more than the highest paid player on defense in the NFL and abandoning your colleagues who need you to help them succeed, if that's what you mean by maximizing then I bet most players wouldn't take that path of maximizing.

Despite what you say, I've observed human behavior for a number of years.

And human nature doesn't change much whether rich or poor, young or old.

You're trying to narrow this down to players. And it's broader than that.

Most people try to maximize their earnings as one of their primary factors in employment decisions. It's only fans who ask players to not do that.

I'd be willing to bet those same fans do it with their jobs.

I'd also be willing to bet that I'd get a 1000 rationalizations for why that is when only one is necessary: human nature.
