Saying 'cancer' was more-so just a one worded phrase to collectively encompass the things I labelled above.
Also, realize that not everyone lives on this forum for 20 hours a day. People have other obligations outside of immediately responding to a post. Especially when The Walking Dead/Talking Dead finale is on  |
Actually, my position on the Sven situation has been pretty consistent for the past two years, and hasn't changed at all since his trade out.
Also, as others have pointed out, I've never once called him a "cancer" or even ever implied his issue are the type related to what often gets catagorized as a "cancerous" player. So it's not about people getting off their "high horses" or getting too particular about word choice, it's that you particular choice of word and the grouping of the statements you read into said bucket indicate you have no clue what my or others peoples opinion actually is on the matter.
You seem to be indicating that there can only be "one type" of attitude problem. The type that eats a team up from within and means bad things about the player in question. Sven was hurting no one but himself with his attitude issues. He wasn't creating a toxic environment for those around him, and I've never once suggested he was. He's a guy who to date, has not handled adversity well, and is not up for proving himself. He's a guy that when he thinks about why he's not succeeding, points the finger outwardly first at his environment or to others on what they are or aren't doing for him, rather than looking internally at the things he can control. None of those = cancer, but they do = someone who I don't think is a winner and doesn't have the right make up for this team. Totally different things though.
