Defensive side JJ Watt’s frustrations have been on the rise for several weeks and a narrow loss from the Houston Texans to the humble Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday put the three-time Defensive Player of the Year to the limit.
Watt admitted that it has been the most difficult season of his career, despite having suffered seasons full of injuries that have cost him more than two dozen games in his career.

He said the team played “horribly” and when asked if he hoped to regroup and get a win next week, he gave a long rant about how bad he felt for the fans who watched them play every week.
“We are professional athletes getting a lot of money. If you can’t get in and work in the building, go to the practice field and work hard and do your surveys and do what you should do, you shouldn’t be here. This is a job. We are getting a lot of money. There are a lot of people who watch us and invest their time and money to buy our t-shirts and a lot of s – and they care about it. They care every week, “said Watt.
The 10-year-old, who only played for Houston, continued: “We are in week 16 and we are in 4-11 and there are fans who watched this game, who attended the stadium, who put time and energy, effort and concern into it So, if you can’t go outside and you can’t work out, you can’t get there on time, you can’t practice, you can’t want to go out there and win, you shouldn’t be here, because that’s a privilege. work in the world. You can go out and play a game. “

And he didn’t stop there.
“If you don’t care enough, even at week 17, even when you’re trash, even when you’re 4 to 11 years old, if you don’t care enough to go there, give everything you have and try your harder, this is bulls – t. So it’s like that. I think – there are people every week who still tweet you, who still come to you and say, hey, we’re still rooting for you, we’re still after you. “They don’t have any reason for that. We stink. But they care, and they still want to win and they still want you to be great. That’s why. These people aren’t getting paid. We’re getting paid very well. That’s why. And that’s that’s why I feel more bad, our fans and the people who care so much about the city and the people who love it and really want it to be great. And it’s not. And that sucks as a player, knowing that you don’t we are giving them what they deserve. “
