The vast majority of football watchers know he is still effective when he can play. This idea of looking to be offended or needing a reason to have put a chip on your shoulder is ridiculous. How about he Just try as hard as he can to get back on the field for his own sake and the case of the contract you are playing under rather than to get back at some shadowy figures for perceived wrongs done? That’s the kind of stuff that makes him sound like a Prima Donna to some.
It’s the Michael Jordan approach. He’d just make up stuff to be mad about and motivate himself. Some people perform better angry. I was actually one of those people. My dad yelling at me was always the trigger lol.

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.

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

Michael Jordan keeping it private? Nobody was out there and in your face than Jordan. Like rez said, Jordan used that and it was as public as it could possibly get.

Totally different scenarios. Jordan used his perceived disrespect about where he was drafted and his college career as fire to drive him. But he didn’t go around saying it…at least not until he was a champion. He took that fire and became the greatest basketball player Arguably of all time with multiple championships.

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.

You think you know, but you don’t know...and you never will! Coach Jim Mora
