The Guardian newspaper once called me a "Guerrilla Satirist" and the premier of Newfoundland and Labrador once called me "an arsehole."

Former journalist. Artist. Writer. Comms guy.

I really, really hate that this is something that I know off the top of my head.

Yeah, I am primarily empathetic toward the 20-somethings who have a mic jammed in their face on Saturday night.

But the 50-something coaches are a product of the same environment and culture, and it definitely curdles into something uglier.

It's kind of inherently cruel that we expect people to devote their entire life solely to chasing elite performance, and then we also ask them to speak eloquently about the game.

And it's that much worse in a sport structured in such a way that elite guys barely get high school.
