I think it's humorous fans telling anybody what they should do when it comes to their livelihood. Hell, people here in Columbus are still up in arms for Denzel Ward sitting out the Cotton Bowl. They say he owed it to the fans, team, and university to be out there. That's complete bunk. It's a meaningless exhibition that the university makes a lot of money off of. I have no problem with a top pick if they decide to sit out and not risk injury.
Just like it was Ward's choice, it's BA's choice and he's said he's not going to leave the Cards twisting in the wind.
