I would just like to point out during Ricky's "time away from football" he spent alot of time in Asia. As he has mentioned he spent alot of time "getting in touch with his spirituality". This is the way many (not trying to globalize) people in Asia spend their lives. The Eastern World does not measure success by accomplishments, but rather the gaining of knowledge and learning from mistakes. But they do not dwell on mistakes, it is looked at as just an action, and they accept that.
Ricky has returned to the Western World with these beliefs. To us it is very awkward, but to him, it is just who he is. Ricky is here to do the best he can, but his life does not revolve around his success on the field. He does not have goals to be the best, but he will play his best. I personally just hope his best, is the best. My point in this thread is, do not take what Ricky says into your own perception, try to think of it from a foreign aspect. What seems strange to us, is very normal to others.

I'll demonstrate my point using extremes: If guy A shoots guy B because he was of an unwelcomed nationality/race/religion, is guy C a hypocrite for bringing guy A up on charges for flat out being wrong? NO..wrong is wrong anyway you cut it.

That might be, quite possibly the longest sentence I have ever read.![]()
