As fans, we tend to look at athletes and cast our own perceptions and habits upon them. We often don't understand the pressure and people that consume their lives. We forget that players come from backgrounds that are foreign to our comforts. The pressure of competition and the need to belong to the groups of elites they are surrounded by begs the question: Is there too much pressure on these athletes and are the outlets to seek help feasible? Its easy for us to say "Heck yes it is easy," I have even gone as far as to say that these people are idiots and bad people.
