#(i'm saying the educated part because countless retired players talk about how they're not set up for their lives after their careers end)

Thinking about how Dele was thrown under the bus at Beşiktaş and getting mad again. :)
#even if you didn't know what he was up to over in turkey it was immediate from the get-go that he was struggling#i'm livid about how little and uneven the support is for players in football#it's gotten better than before and players and teams talk about seeing psychologists more openly#but god. there's still such a lack of understanding or a safety net#when there SHOULD be one because players start YOUNG and they need to be protected nurtured and educated#(i'm saying the educated part because countless retired players talk about how they're not set up for their lives after their careers end)#the extreme pressure that the players are under and the unprecedented media/social media scrutiny are enough to make anyone cave#but these are kids who start with that pressure and some of them make it to the first team when they're still in high school#not to mention that this is the sport that beyond any other sport draws people from all backgrounds#including underprivileged ones and less stable ones#and that's common. and add what dele went through on top of that#god. anyway. really glad that dele did his interview even if it didn't come at the right time
