No...if I couldnt fly...my first option would be to re-train. If that didn't work out, and I was MEDICALLY cleared to do other jobs, I would be out on my ass. The AF, or the military for that matter doesnt take too well to people being medically cleared to do work, and then opting not to do it.

Once a Dr. says you are healthy enough to do your job, in almost any line of work, I believe most employers would expect you to do it. Millionaires should not be exempt from that.

If this was the AFC Championship Game, the Steelers might be more inclined to let Clark make the call, but that is highly doubtful in this circumstance.

lol...it is a business after all.

Where does it say Clark is not focused on the job? The media is making a big deal out of it, not Clark.

I think its pretty obvious? If he was 100% focused on this game, he would have made up his mind a long time ago and said that he would play, which he havnt so far.
