It didn't read as the nigga looking for sympathy or waving away his drop in production during his later years with Green Bay, but it's weird as hell that some of y'all's reaction to it is "you're getting paid millions, why should I care about your struggles?"
His body doesn't stop doing what it's trying to do just because he's getting paid to fight it, especially when he's been battling injuries on top of that. And I'm sure being successful doesn't preclude him from being hurt when he catches an earful about how fat he is in all walks of life, no matter how hard he's working to get in shape and stay there.
But "ugh, he's just rich and lazy, quit crying and run the football", I guess.
Weird.
Just because someone has/makes a ton of money doesn't exempt them from having physical or mental issues just like everyone else.
The thing is, most people don't want to hear about someone who is much better off than they are or potentially ever will be complaining about it. Especially if its something they feel isn't worth feeling bad about. Now, if he had gotten seriously hurt (like, broken neck/back/etc), people would be much more forgiving of him I think.
