He's evasive.
My diagnosis is that he's an honest, shy individual who is good at heart but completely oblivious to the graces that accompany fame. He's unwilling to accept that although his actions may have an inner justification, there are negative externalities and effects in the outside world that he can't run away from forever.
He's honest and seems to care, but he just doesn't "get it." I feel sorry for him. No matter which way you look at it, Ricky, you made a promise. It's unfortunate that you decided in 2 days you didn't want to play football, but a lot of people out there hate their jobs. He should have let them know ahead of time. Notice.
He's a guy who got a lot of money at a young age and mistakenly thought that he didn't want it. No, Ricky, what happened is that you needed it, and continue to need it. Holistic healing doesn't pay. Everyone who has money wants to vacation... but they always come back to their house.
