I can be sympathetic to the player who has a microphone stuck in his face as he walks off the field, but this was some time after the fact, after he had time to collect himself and his thoughts.
It wasn't just the fact he walked off. It was his demeanor, his attitude, his answers before he walked off. Immature. Pouty.
Not the way the league wants their MVP to act, I'm fairly certain.
