Were a part of the game. We keep "your" team from streatching the rules and we are expected to keep the "opposing team" from performing.
I think its a paid spectators right to watch us perform and "comment" on our choices within reasonable social guidelines.
Nobody understands our motivation or our committment to training.
Sport is all theater. We are performers on the field without fans.
After a tough night I read Roosevelts famous:
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
