Reply to comment by Tink_Tinkler in There is no feeling more bittersweet for an athlete than to be cut by a team that immediately goes on to win a championship by Looney_forner

He means that you know it's for the best that you were cut, so it's like, at least I'm helping the team by leaving. But at the same time, you are still a little bit salty that they won right after you left.

The best for who? Me getting cut from the team is only bad for me. I don't care about the team if I'm not on it...

Okay, and that's you, but your philosophy doesn't apply to everyone else's, and if you don't agree with the post then scroll on, but don't act like everyone has the same opinions as you. Plus, I doubt you're not on any professional sports teams, but when your city's team makes it to the finals, then you'd be rooting for them, and not some other random team, which directly contradicts your point that if you're not on it, then you don't care about them.

Bittersweet is a conflict of emotions in the same person, obviously. Everything has an upside to someone, somewhere... that's not what's relevant.

Ya and the sweet part is that you know you helped your team in some way. It sucks, but at the same time it was necessary for the team's success, and you can take solace in knowing that at least your departure is what helped them.
