Earl Thomas' Agent Blasts NFL Fans for Siding with Teams over Players

David Mulugheta, the agent for Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas, questioned why NFL fans side with teams when players hold out seeking a new contract.

Thomas didn't report for the start of Seahawks training camp this week and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported his holdout could extend into the regular season if a deal isn't reached. The Athletes First agent spoke out about backlash his client has received for the decision.

"The fact that NFL fans side with teams worth billions instead of players, that put their bodies on the line day in and day out, never ceases to amaze me," Mulugheta wrote Saturday on Twitter.
