There is nothing worse than quitting...nothing. The one thing that makes quitting even worse is when it is displayed by a professional. Enter, Santonio Holmes. Not only is he playing on the biggest stage (the NFL) he is payed very...very well to do so. You can find the ins and outs of his contract here------>CLICK ME.
I'm not a fan of the Jet's, but I don't hate'm either. What I do hate is shitty attitudes. Especially a shitty attitude that believes it is either better than the team or quits on the team. Where's the H.E.A.R.T in that? Santonio Holmes quit on his team...period. I know the media and NY PR people will try to spin this but it is what it is. A team Captain doesn't get "benched" during the most important game of the year. Even if that game "appears" unwinable (I know, this isn't a word, but it sounds good...so I'm going to use it).
The fifth paragraph in this article sums up everything in a nutshell (you can find the article here---->THE QUITTER LINK). It's sad that an individual with absolutely NO H.E.A.R.T can manage to make it to the highest level of sports. It's actually funny, except that being on this stage (the NFL), there are hundreds of thousands of kids watching this guy. Kids who are impressionable and may think this kind of behavior is acceptable. It isn't and shouldn't be.
I don't want to point fingers or cast judgement on anyone, but...this ISN'T what H.E.A.R.T looks like.
H-ave E-nough A-ttitude R-esilience T-oughness We at H.E.A.R.T Athletics not only believe in playing with heart, but speaking our heart as well.

Hello, my name is John Harris and H.E.A.R.T Athletics LLC is the name of the company I started during my last year in the military. H.E.A.R.T Athletics LLC is a company that aims to bridge the gap between a common sports phrase (heart; having it, using it, wearing it on your sleeve...etc.) and the athletes who exude it. It has been my life long dream to start my own business while providing a unique product to athletes and sports fans just like myself. Having "H.E.A.R.T" means so much to me because as a football player, I wasn't the biggest or the fastest, but I played hard each and every down I was on the field. One of my most favorite memories is walking onto a Division 1AA football team and not only making the team, but starting as a Freshman Cornerback for the season. I hope you find my blog entertaining and inspiring, ultimately pushing YOU to achieve lofty goals.
