Ones wish was respected, the other one they thought they could bully into changing his mind but no way with that guy. The way he went about it was not unprofessional considering the circumstances lemme remind you of the countless players juve froze out and marginalized to pressure into leaving, nobody called it unprofessional. The real traitors are zambrotta and thuram.
No one said Ibra is a traitor. I said several times already that I don't hold anything against him. We were talking about whether re-signing Ibra (in an unrealistic scenario b/c it won't happen) would make sense. For me, it's an obvious no because that'd mean the club is saying it's OK for players to behave that unprofessionally, that that's part of our club's decorum, and that we'd still lick their boots and welcome them afterwards.
I don't see how a player - who's under contract and being paid by the club - refusing to travel to games isn't unprofessional. I understand his motive behind it and I don't hold anything against him, but that doesn't make it professional conduct.
Actually, people did speak out against freezing players out, namely the players' association (AIC). I don't know if you can call that unprofessional though because no contractual rules were broken, and the players were getting paid. It was more a question of fairness and bringing reform where freezing players out would be against the rules. Davids was one player we froze out. I don't recall countless occasions. With guys like Iaquinta, they sat out via mutual consent.
In any case, Ibra to Juve is unrealistic on technical and financial levels to begin with. He isn't ideal for our team (not ideal for CL, and he's a big reference point where the team builds around him while we rely on playing a more mobile game), and he'd have to take a massive salary cut even if we increase our wage cap to 6m.
