Something I find a little… funny actually in sports, is how players get traded from team to team, state to state, city to city.
I don’t like it for a lot of reasons, I can just imagine having a family and all of a sudden having to completely change lifestyles because your coach doesn’t want you anymore. It’s absolutely a crazy thought, professional athletes are away from their family a ton as it is. It’s kinda funny because it’s so simple. A coach can just say he doesn’t want a living human being and easily send them away, it’s just so easy. I can’t imagine doing that to someone either, telling them they have to go live a world away and work for a guy they don’t know. I hate that, athletes lives are so unstable.
But the funny thing is I actually think it’s right. Athletes are obviously paid big bucks, a lot of people get traded to places where they’re gonna make more money anyway. It’s what they asked for, sports are extremely extremely unstable, nothing is set in stone. It’s the entertainment industry too, if they’re going to get a team more money by getting more people to go to the games then that’s it, it’s their job.
I don’t like it because I just wouldn’t want that to happen to me, it’d be so hard on a family. But the long and short of it is that it’s the world of sports, people have to get traded. They took the job understanding the risks, their jobs have cons too, not just pros. Trades are part of the game in my opinion, what’s yours?
