As Sanson reflects on the landscape of sports today, he articulates a belief that many modern athletes prioritize personal branding and social status over genuine competition and achievement. This notion is echoed in accusations against players who become more preoccupied with their status as celebrities rather than their actual performance on the field or court.

This behavior exemplifies a broader trend wherein athletes, instead of demonstrating accountability and commitment, prioritize their social lives.
