Basketball players suing Topps

Several NBA stars are suing the Topps company for failing to pay up on autograph deals, TMZ is saying.

Players on the list reportedly include:

Tracy McGrady
Brandon Roy
Derrick Rose
Russell Westbrook
D.J. Augustin
T.J. Ford
Antaawn Jamison
Anthony Randolph
DeAndre Jordan

The nine players are suing for $300,000 - a modest amount compared to what most of the listed players earn in a given year.

I can't really comment on this to be honest. What's there to say? Greedy athletes are suing Topps for a couple bucks they didn't get for signing autographs. Yes Topps was wrong, but for all but three of those players, the little extra money in their pocket won't do them any good.

Greedy bastards, aren't they?

I agree that Topps should have paid them, but isn't like they depend on the money for bills/rent/etc.

Better:
"Yes, Topps was wrong. But for all ..."
