‘Your participation is voluntary, you can leave at any time’
This line is the kind of thing companies like Timeshare and cults use, knowing full well the bag of tricks and subtle psychological methods they can use once the audience is captive. Yep it’s voluntary - at first - but developing a loyalty and devotion to a club is like love, even when it’s bad for you, you just can’t leave at anytime. Moving to Coventry wasn't good for me, but I couldn’t leave, and even less could I go and change my allegiance to another club that was local like Quins or Irish. It doesn’t make sense and it’s never that simple.
For example, if I really was Antoine DuPont I would be playing for Wasps!
