A very subjective look into AWFC

Friends…

If you know anything about me, you know that I have tried my very best to stay away from any sort of drama around players, I don’t spread gossip and I surely do not ever talk about player’s personal lives. It’s non of my business, it’s not yours or anybody’s.

Today I’m also not going to address directly the comments going around about player X saying thing Z and some people talking about another player altogether, who happens to be a player in our squad. It’s not worth it. I don’t care about what the fan or fans said. I really don’t.

But what I do care about is how some people are reacting to it, not because I think they’re wrong to react or interact, but just because I know there’s nothing healthy about it. I’m not here to tell you what to do or how to think but, pardon me if this sounds arrogant of me, I have some suggestions that I’m sure will help you in the future.

Firstly, you cannot rationalize irrational behavior. Read that again if you have to. This applies to many, many things in life. You will be way better off, with less BS around you, you will set boundaries in a healthier way and you will be able to create a habit out of this.

Another thing I will say is that people that talk about other people like that, with the aim of getting attention (because it’s not ever about anyone else but the one person that spews the ignorant comment), thrive on engagement. They want to be read. They want to be interacted with. Ignore them, as often as you can.

And trust me, I know it’s hard. Recently someone I follow and whose opinion I respect, said something about my favorite player that I found to be very much click bait. I couldn’t said so many things and wrote a DM, etc etc etc. But why? If that’s what they think, that’s what they think. If I didn’t like how they said it or what they said, that’s MY problem. A few years ago I would’ve absolutely engaged. And then I would’ve been inundated in that. The issue would persist. The drama would build.

And it’s all such a waste of time. Imagine what you could do with the same energy and time that that tiny, absurd, little post took from us.

I love that people care. I love that people wanna defend our players with all our might. It shows that they matter to us. I totally get it.

Sometimes we need to say to ourselves: I’m above this.

I know you are.
