I don’t think that’s totally true. I play a lot of sport and I know tonnes of people who are incredibly nice off the pitch but on the pitch can be very intense and argumentative and aggressive. It’s just part of sports. Even myself on some days I’m very calm and easy going and others I can totally lose my temper. It’s just part of being human That’s not to excuse this guy he seems like a dick. I’m just talking about getting frustrated at yourself or maybe a bad call
