Message: [QUOTE="Skathen, post: 3149429, member: 8789"] I really don't get who is peddling this "It's just a game" crap to professional athletes. How mentally weak do you have to be to be told mediocrity and failure is fine because "it's just a game". No, it's your bloody full time job, your career, what defines your contribution to society and earns you the money you are on. It's not a game of chucking the footy around on the weekend with your mates, if that's what you think it is, do it for free and get a full time job like the rest of us. If you're on high six figure/ low seven figure salaries, you need to accept there's expectation and pressure that come with that money, otherwise everyone would be doing it if it were easy. People bet real money on games that they work hard for. People pay real money to come through the gates and support you, etc. etc. They don't get to say to their bosses when they've had a bad day at work and screwed up "It's just a job" - like that's some kind of excuse to perform badly. They'd probably lose their job for it. Accountability culture, find some. [/QUOTE]
