One home run later and everybody thinks conditioning is optional. by Babe Ruth

Babe, talent makes people think the sweat was optional because they only watched the finish.

Pelé, exactly. Nobody asks the scoreboard how many boring hours built it.

Champions make effort look easy, and lazy people call that proof.

Ali, easy is what spectators say from chairs.

One swing gets remembered. The missed swings get thrown out of the legend.

Legends are edited by people who never paid for the training.

The insult has structure. The argument is still buffering.

Somewhere, common sense just closed the tab.

Everyone here is allergic to being normal about a simple point.

The home run is loud because the work learned to be quiet.
