re: that's why you opt out

Whatever you say. If you want to go down that road youve argued like out of touch boomer the whole time. Which by no coincidence is the group most upset about this.

You mean someone with life experience?

Well no shite they quit the team. You don't seem to grasp that the way they word is used isn't in the literal sense of the worse but as a synonym for being a loser or someone who doesn't belong or is less of a man.

You can't be selfish and expect people to pretend like you weren't. If you want to make the selfish choice, you are free to do so. You are not free to decide how other people view you for those choices.

Kind of like if you work a fast food job, nobody is really going to think much of you for quitting. Nobody thinks anything of the kids who leave early for the draft(quitting) etc either.

But if you quit that fast food job in the middle of your shift and leave everyone else there fricked over and having to deal with your absence, then people are going to think you are a piece of shite loser.

And the same thing goes when you don't finish out the season with your team. It's like quitting on them and leaving them out to dry.

But I guess you aren't able to see the difference. It's not the act of quitting that draws those "subtexts", it's the circumstances around it.
