Tom Brady is the football GOAT and an old man in a sport that can cripple for life and/or cause severe brain damage.
He's fabulously rich and married to an international super model with whom he has two children.
And yet he risks losing his family to play a silly game.

SF Giants All Star, and World Series Catcher, Buster Posey, who see the game for what it is...i.e. an exciting 'Period' in their lives and easily step away. Different strokes for different folks...as a fan, I wish them all well and thank them for the joy and pleasure they give with their skills, competitiveness...and love of the game they play.

Living life superficially is a defense against awareness of the conflicts and enxieties extant within from our eariest development.
But all compulsions are directly linked for better or for worse to our drive to reproduce... which is evolution's core demand upon us.
I am also kidding... to paraphase Freud... sometimes a putter is just a glolf club.
