I am a big fan of Tony Stewart despite being a Ford Guy.
I would however, think that things could have been done after the end of the current season to finish out the contract on hand. Too often these days in professional sports the contracts are tossed aside as if no one has to commit to the signed agreement.
If a common working person in America wanted to walk away from a commitment how many soldiers would just quit rather than stand and fight? Let’s face it professional athletes are treated better than those willing to die for our freedoms. Go look at the barracks on the open bases in our armed services.
Are these two different topics? I do not honestly think so. He should have stayed till the contract he was under ended before venturing out and negotiating a new deal of any kind period.
I wish Tony well, but would have rather he waited till the season was over before walking away. Maybe the ownership in other racing formats has finally gone to his head?
