[ It definitely is a skill issue. ]

No.
I have some shame.

Aren't you on tv sometimes? I don't pay attention to sports.

[outplayed]

sometimes

[ probably at least once a week except during the off season, but who's counting! kaiser doesn't really care either way. ]

again, why...

[undermanage]

I'm trying to figure out what to watch on my day off.

If I stay busy, I won't go out and mess around.

[ This will never happen.

He's gonna get sloppy drunk and end up on the news, dead in a ditch. ]

[outplayed]

you dont want to watch me if you arent somebody who pays attention to sports
you wont even get whats happening most of the time

why dont you watch a movie or tv show instead...

[undermanage]

If I try something new, I won't be tempted by something old.

Plus I played soccer back in high school!

[ Like during lunch. He was just having a fun ol' time. ]

[outplayed]

uh huh. i bet you played the recorder in school too but you wouldnt want to go listen to the orchestra, would you?
same principle

[undermanage]

Why can’t I just watch a soccer game??
Strange how you’re suddenly the aggressive one here.

[outplayed]

because its fucking annoying when people who last played football in the fucking grimsby sunday league a few years ago watch a pro game and think shit like "they arent even playing that fast" "why didnt he pass" "why didnt that goal count" "i could do this too if i had kept at it"

[undermanage]

… Is this a pride thing?
These are some wild assumptions, to be honest.

I’m not going to critic pros in sports when I’m literally just a talent manager.

[outplayed]

im among the best in the world of my age group and people say those things to me. why shouldnt it be a pride thing?

[undermanage]

Well if you want I can text you live commentary just to prove you wrong.

You won’t see it until after your game but
At least you’ll know I’m not trying to be an asshole?

[outplayed]

i dont need that but you can do it if it gives you a reason to watch properly instead of falling asleep in another bush

[undermanage]

You’re never going to let that go huh?

[outplayed]

again: why should i
just because youve lowered your standards doesnt mean the rest of us have

[undermanage]

I didn’t lower my standards?
I was just drunk.

[outplayed]

because you have low standards
getting that drunk in the first place is the proof of it

[undermanage]

It's not bad to have vices?
Don't you have a couple?

[outplayed]

[ the answer is incredible levels of self-harm, but, ]

im literally a professional athlete. i cant afford to have any of those

[undermanage]

[ don't do that ]

Not even something minor?
Like... eating sweets at night......

[outplayed]

i have this thing called "self control", have you heard of it? do you exercise it yourself, on occasion?

[undermanage]

I mean considering I don't drink for long periods of time
Yes??

Are you single?

[ ???? ]

[outplayed]

and yet you drink in the end. thats not what self control is

[ ??? ]

im an up and coming celebrity, what makes you think i would answer that question without making you sign an nda first

[undermanage]

I'm not that type of manager.

[ The ones who just sell information about their talents to random people... those weirdos. Mei is, actually, not that bad of a guy when it comes to work! ]

I'm just trying to figure out how someone like you relives their stress.

[outplayed]

mindfulness and the fact that my job is to run around and kick ball hard
i think the stress works itself out naturally given the circumstances...

[ also, grievous self-harm, but he is not going to talk about that! ]

what, are you looking for tips or trying to figure out how i tick

[undermanage]

[ kick ball hard got me ctfu he's german ]

Not how you tick, I guess?
Managers help at least lessen the burden of the stressors their talents have.
I got work on the brain since it's rare that I'm ever off the clock, you know
Just making sure that you're taking care of yourself, being taken care of, etc.

[ Wow, it's almost as if he should get paid for this. ]
