Viewers versus players (a Senryū)
In front of the box,
screaming in frenzy, but you
are not the players!
This Senryu observes the frenzied enthusiasm displayed more so by viewers than the player themselves.

Viewership, especially in the age of social media, is quite interesting. It often can make or break a player’s career too!
