Pro athletes often secretly root against their own team when they are benched or injured

This is a phenomenon that does happen. You're right. I'm just going to be honest... in pro ball you become an independent contractor... I'm thinking if they can lose this, it proves they don't need me. So I'm hoping that they lose. And also I was so miserable being in the dugout watching them [the 2010 Giants]. It was a nightmare.
