Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
My older son used to do that when he swam competitively. Mostly he hated losing and that's all it took. Other times it seems like he'd "invent" some sort of disrespect from an opposing rival swimmer. It led him to the Individual All-Round (High Point) Louisiana State Championship so it must have worked.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
That’s Ok and I get it, but Jordan seemed to keep it more private. He didn’t go around saying he felt he was being dissed. He stoked an internal fire that he unleashed on others. Telling people that you have a chip on your shoulder because of what they say about the time you’ve missed is a different category in my opinion

Thomas is saying he’s feeling disrespected because people point out that he’s had injury issues (something Jordan never did). Nobody threw shade on his in field performance while he was at his peak. He is feeling disrespected for a different reason than Jordan was. And he is taking it to the press more than Jordan did. Just my opinion of course. |
