This Team, As Contractually Obligated, Came To Play Today

A game was played to completion today, leaving one thing clear: this team, as contractually obligated, came to play. Despite this team’s victory, the other team also came to play. This team won, that team lost, but both, per contract stipulations, came to play.

Player Matt Leary, who was asked about his thrilling performance and responded appropriately per the contractual obligation for postgame availability and team code of conduct for media engagements, said, “Tonight I came to play, as agreed upon in my contract,” adding that he was happy to return to the sports city that previously owned and licensed his athletic likeness. “As stated in my agreement with Cincinnati ownership, Cincinnati was an excellent city with great fans and a great team up until when my contract was completed.”

Although injured during the scheduled athletic competition between rosters, Leary hopes to dress for the following match.

“Contractually, I am obligated to be at the stadium, but the coach will decide the lineup, and if I’m selected to participate in the game, I will play, per the agreement my agent negotiated with ownership and the general manager.”

This devotion to a roster that changes each year is why team owner John Richardson secured the services of Leary and his teammates. “You don’t know if everyone you give a million dollars to will show up and play, but these guys come to play every single game. They go out for the glory and love among teammates and their contracts and the contractual agreements in those contracts.”
