More on Revis’ protest

Here’s the AP quote from Revis on sitting out:
“I was just a little lightheaded today, a hamstring pull, too,” Revis said with a chuckle. “Nah, we’re going through it right now. There’s some things right now and we’re starting to get serious. There’s two different opinions going on, and I’m going to do what’s best for me and my family.”
Further: “It was something just to let them know I can play, and I cannot play,” Revis said. “That’s what it is.”
Does this scare anybody? First off, Revis shouldn’t be sitting out plays (that goes without saying); but Second, why is he admitting that he is sitting out because of his contract dispute? I understand that Thomas Jones is no longer on the team (unfortunately), but isn’t there another senior member that can tell Revis to grow up?
