At the end of the day, professional athletes saying anything about being tired or worn out has never and will never play well with a lot of people. Everyone has aches and pains at their job, but the average person putting in the 40 hour+ a week, year round job has trouble feeling sorry for the ball player, for obvious reasons. Someone giving themselves carpal tunnel and a sore back sitting at a computer all day for a cool $45,000 a year is unlikely to sympathize with a guy making $15,000,000 who has a sore hip.
You may not like it but that’s just how it is. We put a lot of importance on athletes considering the job they do. They shouldn’t be attacked for it, but would probably be in their best interest to just never talk about that kind of stuff. Just my opinion!
