As an Nba fan, its crazy that a player could be let go for negative comments about an organization.

He wasn't let go. He said a lot of questionable things during an interview with Piers Morgan and was unlikely to ever play again for United so Ronaldo and the club mutually agreed to terminate the contract

That's kinda what being let go means, isn't it? The team was suing him for his comments, he didn't want to be on the team anymore so they are eating his contract and letting him go?

I suppose it is actually yeah, at the time I was more thinking of him meaning the team unilaterally terminated it

I mean he wasn't really an asset to the team anymore and he's a rapist so fuck that guy.

There is also the fact he refused subs, refused to play with the back-up team and left the stadium before matches ended.
