When I was in my twenties, it felt like I was riding wild horses, and I was hoping I didn't go over a cliff.
I would venture to guess that if I was a construction worker... who requested a transfer to another department for the betterment of his family, I would be commended for it. But because it's sports, there's just so much passion added to it.
But to be self-obsessed is simply not o.k. for the most important country in the world, the United States, which affects every other country in the world.
