Quote

A career in entertainment has a lifespan, like one in sport.

These days, to be seven years in one spot in any pro sport is a pretty long tenure.

Professional sports is a business.

If we carry on filling up the calendar, we keep on pushing the athlete, we shorten the athletes longevity. The risk is to shorten a career that could have lasted 10 years because the athlete is burnt out.

I don't play video games because I know that if I ever started, I'd never be able to maintain a career again.

Every athlete, I think, would like to play forever. They never want to acknowledge that they've lost a step or they can't quite do what they did before.

No professional athlete likes to admit that he has played too long. There is too much money involved, rarely enough saved, and there is the eternal hope that age has not withered skills.

In the entertainment industry, careers don't last very long - and online, careers last an even shorter amount of time.

I never played sports. I wasn't any good at them.

I think the average MLB career now is just a few years. The quote that has always resonated with me is 'We're going to be former players a lot longer than we were current players.'
