Viewers versus players (a Senryū)
In front of the box,
screaming in frenzy, but you
are not the players!
*****
Quotes:
- “In a world full of spectators, be the player.” ― Michael Bassey Johnson, Song of a Nature Lover
- “Train like you are the worst player, play like you are the best player.” ― Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words
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!
