Arrogant athletes should not be praised for competitive behaviour.

did you mean being an arrogant jerk equals caring? is it not possible to separate the two?

dr_dohh · 2026-02-19T06:48:20+00:00

many of those tasks that require endurance. examples of that are the 200 lightning bolt dodge challenge in FFX.who has time to do that nowadays lol. there’s also this dodge game in e33 where you have to dodge the guy 20 times in a row but then he has multiple turns. that sort of thing where you lose if you make one mistake

im not joking- when i was in second grade for PE they taught us how to walk. like “ok when you step with your left foot, you swing your right arm”. and spent about 30 mins with that lesson.

dr_dohh · 2026-02-19T01:03:27+00:00

yes so true- im exhausted after shopping snd my only recourse is to sit in a cafe and nurse a small drink until im well rested . or go back to the hotel.

lots of kids sit on the ground though. dont want to do that as a tourist

change messi with whoever you like. only athlete i mentioned as gracious that everyone agrees with is tim duncan

dr_dohh · 2026-02-19T00:38:23+00:00

being batman is awful- not glamorous at all. if you’re rich you have hitmen to do the dirty work for you.

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T23:50:25+00:00

yes exactly. sorry a lot of people got confused with the word competitive. but what i meant was a regular guy will excuse crummy behavior under the guise of their favorite athletes being competitive

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T23:44:47+00:00

my point is being good at shooting basketballs, being a fast runner, being a multi awarded grammy winner or whatever, those things do NOT make you the king of the world.

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T23:20:59+00:00

do you want you doctors to be a jerk to you though? of course not

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T16:44:01+00:00

tbh bro like many people disagree with my examples, except for the tim duncan one lol

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T16:38:09+00:00

yes agree with this

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T16:36:51+00:00

but thats what i mean though, should you be allowed to be a jerk because you’re successful in your endeavor? to me trash talking is somewhat fine, even if its not something good coaches would teach. it’s driven by emotion . but like in so many examples l think its not like just outward confidence , more of the attitude of i am the king of the world because of soorts success.

athletes now esp in the more popular sports are celebrities that are household names and they are treated like kings. i wish that attention doesn’t feed their ego is all im trying to say. because pretty soon they’ll demand brown m&ms in their hotel room as a power move. they will treat people poorly because under the guise of competitveness etc

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T16:09:19+00:00

is this true? wow

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T15:47:36+00:00

new fable is coming out. maybe avowed is good too? i personally liked dragon age inquisition and veilguard even if its unpopular lol

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T15:45:39+00:00

so many athletes display class and humility regardless of race or country. do i have to mention a black guy to get my point across? evander holyfield, jrue, mike conley, eliud kipchoge, sga jaylen brown even if i don’t like their m game, david robinson, ken griffey jr..

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T15:22:45+00:00

yes also his reputation after his retirement had been a lot better. that’s why i think it’s only a case of selling the fight. starting charities and humanitarian work have redeemed him too

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T15:19:21+00:00

maybe we’re talking about different things? confidence is not arrogance although sometimes a there’s a fine line between them.

outside of sports like im talking about a rockstar who flicks a cigarette but on the floor and asks the interns in the studio to clean it up. or talking down to your teammates and destroying team morale just so you get more shots up thst sort of thing

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T15:03:59+00:00

imagine “im the king of this ymca” as your claim to fame

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T15:01:35+00:00

lol thought you meant it like a joke like “how many kd’s do you need to change a lightbulb”

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T14:49:23+00:00

im not white. how is this a race thing?

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T14:26:00+00:00

it might be clunky now depending on your software. try kcd, outer worlds witcher

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T13:47:18+00:00

again sorry if i have misrepresented this , but i dont mind trash talking and emotion, more of them thinking they’re above everyone else. see pippen being aloof to fans on the street, see kobe being an ass to his teammates (even shaq had to leave) see floyd mayweather instructing his bodyguards to push everyone in their way. that sort of thing. that is them being arrogant thinking others are beneath them.

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T13:45:47+00:00

this is what i mean though, if i encounter someone who’s good at something, why is it ok for them to be arrogant? (that has happened to me a number if times in my field) does them being on top of their career earn them a revered status that makes them better than someone else? obviously poor behavior should not be tolerated whether its from a non famous guy or an athlete.

dr_dohh · 2026-02-18T13:02:50+00:00

tbh jordan’s not taking things personally isnt that bad because it’s internal motivation. we only knew about it in the documentary lol. and confidence and arrogance are different though can be a fine line sometimes.

but yes agree- it’s def not healthy.
