Athletes Can Play Through Those Injuries, Says Man Who Gets Sore From Sitting Too Long

September 21, 2009 | ISSUE 45•38

NEW YORK—Despite his incessant complaints that resting his buttocks on a chair for prolonged periods of time causes him discomfort and pain, a man paid to provide sports analysis insisted Sunday that athletes should be able to play regardless of injuries attained through physical action.

"It's pathetic how pampered and soft these athletes today are. Hold on, just adjusting my cushion here for a second."
