If your country is not a free country in a pandemic, it's not really an entirely free country, you're just being told it is a free country by the entity that controls your country.
Telling people they live in a free country is a good way to get them to comply with an agenda and turn them into obedient puppets. Nothing is free, you have to fight to get something. Compromise is a good way to lose who you are and any sense of rights that you have.

It's not a realistic expectation to expect a first year team to go out and win every game. Underconfidence is when if you think you'll win about 3 games, you end up winning about 3 games, even though you had the ability to do what you didn't think you would do. The point is not to win games, it's not to start a habit of defeating yourself early when really you have the ability to go further with a little more confidence at the times you would usually lose confidence. If you're playing to win, you're going to fear failure and feel like you have to win, but if you're just going out and working on the things you're rusty at, trying to do what you didn't do last week or yesterday, not giving up on yourself, and the work you're doing is always in progress and never finished, you have room to improve anything you want to improve.
Underconfidence can get you stuck somewhere you wouldn't be stuck at a time when your confidence level wasn't as low.

Girl- Oh, I thought that guy was a Craig when I said that hilarious thing about the hitman. I didnt know what I was saying. I would have never said that if I knew what I was saying.
Guy- Not everybody thought it was hilarious.

A third camp, that unlike the black lives matter and no lives matter camps, believes that life is meaningless no matter what shade of skin you have, and that there's not a whole lot that really matters, or a point to claiming that it does.

Nobody wanted to see the Dodgers win it ever since they ratted on the Astros. Year of the Rat was a good name for 2020.
