Humans don’t deal well with being overshadowed. It’s not easy to swallow when one’s accomplishments or attempts are not recognized, let alone given due credit. It’s hard to swallow putting in thousands of hours or work, just for one man or woman’s efforts to trump all you’ve worked so hard for. This is especially true in the realm of professional sports.
There comes a point and time when even athletic greatness gets overshadowed. It’s no one’s fault, it’s just the natural order of things.
