More and more athletes are becoming aware of the lack of impact sports has outside of entertainment and physical exercise. It’s not just the average athletes either, those that are masters of their craft and hall of famers. Lebron James has stated more than once that he is more than an athlete.
James has told reporters on more than one occasion that we need more doctors, lawyers and teachers, not just athletes. James believes in this so much he created his own school that will give away free scholarships to college for the first graduating class.
Apparently becoming rich off sports gives you the inability to complain about it, is the common logic used to refute Irvings “complaints”.
Not to mention using “moodiness” and kyrie Irving being “weird” to disguise the fact that sports indeed has little relevancy in the real world for the majority of people. I’ve yet to hear sports analyst actually discuss in depth what kyrie Irving is saying without using a personal attack.
As sports commentators this is their bread and butter, there’s no endorsements or hundred million dollar contracts. Do you honestly think that every sports commentator you see is excited to talk about sports every single day of the year?
How fulfilling is that? The commentators are projecting onto Kyrie because subconsciously they know he’s right. The reality is, the commentators want to say what kyrie is indeed saying deep down in their hearts.
Professional athletes spend a large portion of growing up falling in love with their sport starting from youth. As a child no one is practicing to be a commentator or studying commentators. In fact most of the famous commentators have play the sport their commenting on at a collegiate level at best. Or the best commentators were never stars in their professional sport.

In conclusion, just as the drunk addict can’t function without his or her liquor or the gambling addict without the adrenaline from betting. The sports fanatic and sports analyst use athletes to project their insecurities they keep hidden from the world. Athletes are telling us the fans that the game is not as serious as we think it is.
Nothing that we get from our addiction is worth the risk we take to experience it. Ironically there are no NBA Games on today but the NFL will be on. As if social media has killed family dinner talk enough. Be sure to spend time with loved that you’ve neglected due to watching sports and social media and give thanks. Below is a copy of Kyrie Irving response to the fans of Boston.
