In athletics, the idea of possibility is presumed. It's not 'if;' it's 'how.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's not about 'if', it's about 'when.'
But I like to think an athlete is an athlete.
Athletics carries its own set of truths, and those truths are diminished when manipulated by people with agendas.
Probable impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable possibilities.
It is certain because it is impossible.
It is certain because it is possible.
Sports is a metaphor for overcoming obstacles and achieving against great odds. Athletes, in times of difficulty, can be important role models.
No one knows anything about economics. It's the great lie of the economists. By contrast in football people might have contrasting opinions, each of which has some validity. But the economists always speak in conditionals - what a mess.
Reality is not always probable, or likely.
I think nowadays it's so easy as an athlete to become a statistic whether or not you lose everything or having trouble or whatever it may be.
