Well that is unfortunate, but again, unlike American athletes we've been conditioned to seeing on television, etc., he actually speaks his mind. He's a throwback to a time when the PR guy wasn't holding them back. In that way he is a lot like Bill "Spaceman" Lee who pitched for the Red Sox and who also has criticized modern athletes for the milk toast responses they give.
So if it just a video game, then why are you getting worked up over his honest response? Seriously, I am curious, not trying to start something. He got asked a question and he answered it, unless you are one of those folks he refers to,why does his answer bother you so much?
Jens Voigt doesn't complain about what suffering does to him, but suffering constantly complains about getting picked on by Jens Voigt.
