Well, although money isn't everything in life, it does take problems off your plate. That's why I don't think a player should pay tribute to any team because no team, at the end of the day, will do the same for you. When you're no longer useful or they have a better option, they'll replace you without hesitation. That's why I don't see this as a bad thing. I would see it as bad if they did something that betrayed what they preach. For example, someone who constantly advocates for health and a healthy lifestyle, then sponsors an alcoholic beverage.
