What the hell is up with athletes just throwing in the towel and quitting when things don’t go their way? Is this the new standard?
If it is, it’s insanely embarrassing.

I have no idea how these guys figure out this isn’t acceptable, but if you’re getting paid huge money to play a sport, there’s never an excuse to quit on your team.
It’s simply not acceptable at all.
