If it were football, as in soccer, I can relate, but this ☝🏿...nah!
Anyways, the quote in your post that says:
"As professionals it is important to provide a good show...and not just hits and runs", well that comes across like entertaining is given priority ahead of results. Now that's no longer the name of the game in this time and age.
Results is the name of the game, whether it was gotten shabilly or by a stroke of luck! Ditch entertainment!! You see, that's why the sport seem not to be interesting any longer, the games become too mechanical.
