Quote by Derek Fisher

I would venture to guess that if I was a construction worker... who requested a transfer to another department for the betterment of his family, I would be commended for it. But because it's sports, there's just so much passion added to it.

Summary

This quote highlights the discrepancy in how career decisions are perceived differently in sports compared to other professions. The speaker suggests that in any other field, making a job transfer for the sake of one's family would likely be applauded. However, in the context of sports where passion runs high, such a decision is often scrutinized more heavily. It implies that the emotional attachment and fierce passion associated with sports can sometimes cloud judgment or lead to an unfair level of criticism.
