“In a good way, some of them are really impressive and inspiring in the way they approach the game every night. But others that I used to like, now it’s like I’m just not sure they deserve it. Like they don’t seem like they put as much work in as I thought.”
Gee… I wonder what the difference between these players are…
Not to excuse generalizing the french, I think he’s just making a joke about how the french seem to be super hated by everyone (which imo is probably more reason to NOT make the joke). However I feel like if we’re talking about 10+ year vets it makes much more sense for it to be good content and their insight on other players in the league carries much more weight.
