He played the game at the highest level. I (and I assume you) didn't. He has the creds to talk about it. I know a guy who was a journeyman in the league for a number of years and it had a similar effect on his health. When you're in your twenties, you don't think anything can hurt you. Recognizing the toll it took on him doesn't make him a pussy.

Bitching about it does. Did someone hold a gun to his head?

In Germany over Easter to visit his father, Patrick Venzke got in touch with SPIEGEL to suggest an interview. He arrives with a notebook, in which he's jotted down some thoughts about what he wants to get off his chest. "When I was still playing I wouldn't have been in a position to give this sort of interview," he says. "It would have cost me my career."
The dude is doing more than just "recognizing the toll" his body took. He's bitching. I smell a law suit.
