Fans almost always side with teams because they are a fan of said team, if you were that player, you would do exactly the same thing.

Bullshit.
Teams honor the contract exactly as it's written. Being able to cut a player is right there in black and white for both parties to agree to. Situational settlements and penalties for either side not living up to their end of the deal is all in black and white.
If you want to blame players, teams, and the media for yapping their traps about the big inflated figures that only actually happen if the world spins perfectly for the whole deal, go ahead. Believing the hype doesn't mean the contract isn't being adhered to by both sides.
