What is the fascination people have with knowing who retires when? And then more bizarre is to track what happens after. As in watch the person unretire from their retirement.
Recent news is similar to lot of people in the sports industry before them.
Tom Brady in American Football (which involves no use of foot to engage with the ball).
Ashleigh Barty in Australian Women's Tennis who announced she will retire at age 25.
Brady realizing he had not saved enough money apparently decided he needed more and did a U turn in less than a month to say - his family was crazy and he did not want any time with them after all.
Just kidding. While he has more money than god there must be some sort of calculus that he cannot rid himself from a sport he spent decades playing.
But what of it?
People hold certain individuals to hero status that everything he or she does gets scrutinized and discussed and sold. I guess the ones profiting from this foible are the media machines and companies that own these so deemed stars (in whichever profession they play).
