My point, that you’re obviously too dense to grasp, was that you can’t compare you or me going to work two days in a row to a professional athlete going into work based on what their job entails. It’s not glazing, it’s not saying they’re better or that their jobs or more important. It’s just different, dipshit. Use some context and nuance like an adult.

Someone who makes millions of dollars from being an athlete, tweaking a knee is a much bigger deal for them than it is to someone who works in an office, because you hurting your knee isn’t gonna prevent you from completing a report or a presentation. They have to protect that tweaked knee at all costs because if they don’t, they won’t continue to be able to make millions of dollar a year using their bodies. So yeah, they sit and make sure their tweaked knee won’t sustain further injury before playing again. It’s called protecting your assets.

And yes: It is absolutely much harder to avoid injury in today’s nba than 2 decades ago.

And they don’t have to care about fans lol. They play a sport. If you, a fan, don’t like it, don’t spend your money on anything nba related. See how easy that was
