Love this article! You’re absolutely right. Fans place an exorbitant amount of pressure and expectations on athletes. But they’re human too… they feel, they hurt. I also propose that people should look deeper. This speaks to a bigger issue, one you alluded to, that most people have a problem with others displaying emotions that are outside of their own comfort schema. Others’ reactions and ways of behaving are outside of our control and people need to learn how to navigate their own (in)competence around discomfort. Everything always starts with your own internal experience and if you’re uncomfortable with something….. ask yourself “why” instead of looking for external validation. Always look within first. You might learn something about yourself.
