The Houston Texans suffered a loss on December 27 to the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL. This is the 11th game the team has lost this season, with just four victories in total, and just one game left at the end of the regular season. A balance that left the team very touched, and especially one of its players, JJ Watt.
The Texans defensive end came out at a press conference after the game and was honest with everyone present when they asked him to rate the season. A very serious speech that in a short time went viral and was widely applauded for Watt’s attitude.
“If you can’t come here, train and work hard, do what you have to do, you shouldn’t be here,” JJ Watt began, “this is a job, we get paid a lot, there are a lot of people who watch us, who invest their time and money, they buy our shirts and much more. And they worry about this. They worry every week. We are in matchday 16 and we are 4-11, and the fans are there, they watch the games, they go to the stadium, They invest time and energy, they worry about this, “he continued.
“So if you can’t go out there, work, be punctual, train, do whatever it takes to win, you shouldn’t be here! Because this is a privilege, it’s the best job in the world, it’s playing a game. And if you can’t care enough, not on the last day, not when you’re a crap going 4-11; if you can’t care, go out there and do your best, that’s bullshit. “
There are people every week who still tweet or come up to you and say ‘we keep cheering you on, we keep on with you’, they have no reason for it, we suck !, but they care, they still want to win, they want you to be great. Those people are not paid. They pay us, a lot. That is the reason”.
“That’s why I feel the worst, for our fans, and for the people who care so much, for the city, for the people who love him so much and who really want us to do great. And we don’t. As a player , it sucks to know that we are not giving them what they deserve. “
