[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 962931, member: 17953"] We should always remember that the media doesn't look to give a true perspective of a player. They look for issues that will create a sensationalized reaction, to create more interest in what they've written. That's why a player who has done so much for causes outside the chalk lines will end up being crucified by the press the moment they do anything wrong. There is no respect for the person, or their privacy. In Rodgers case, if he read the flaps by fans based on their opinions, he would have told the Packer organization he was "outta there," without batting an eye. The press can be cruel, and fans tend to hold their hero athletes to a much higher standard than they do themselves. I wonder how many of us could live our lives in a fish bowl, without it blowing up in our faces. Take it from me, being called a legend puts you on tenuous ground. From there on in, your life is in a fish bowl, until you can remove yourself from the environment and reach, of having been there. Anonymity becomes a real friend. EDIT: By the way. This applies to all of life, not just that of athletes. [/QUOTE]
