They ignore it.Sure, but there's a difference between just the general scrutiny everyone gets vs. when it's really targeted at you. The latter can be tough to handle because especially in Boston the fans and media are relentless. The fans and media here will try to make you feel worthless as a human once you're in their cross hairs. Greg Bedard will write some ******** like your 5th grade math teacher said you aren't competitive and the Felger and Mazz's of the world will hype it up. Different sport, but poor Brad Stevens' high school daughter had crazy fans blowing up her instagram over not liking the Jaylen Brown trade.
Every athlete is always being watched and scrutinized but it rises to higher levels for some. High draft pick like Campbell playing a premium position has a target on his back with the ******* fans and media here that's on a different level. Jared Wilson sucked in the superbowl too but he's not on the same level of scrutiny for example.
They aren’t high school girls hearing criticism of their father.
They are professional athlete under intense pressure to perform. The last thing they care about is what some knucklehead is writing or saying about them.
They certainly aren’t performing poorly because they are acreage what delver will say.
