Yeah, seriously. And I’m typing this from a building site where every single person would say they’ll happily swap places with Rodri. (Although would die of heart attack with one training session)
The idea that you can’t complain or be unhappy about aspects of your life if there’s others in the world that are worse off is fecking stupid.
It’s what makes people bottle up and not seek support.
You work a 75 hour week? Only state pension to look forward to? Zero hour contract with basic sick pay? You don’t know how lucky you are! Said a 12 year old Indonesian factory worker.
Rodri is allowed to say he’s overworked. So are you.
My instinct was to defend the players too, to be honest.
It’s a weird one because there’s always somebody worse off and that’s no reason to just put up and shut up. That’s been a really dangerous thought process in mental health.
Nobody should be afraid to speak up for better working conditions.
