Whiners and Moaners

Ok, this gets its inspiration from the dugouts and the pitlanes and; The greatest reality show on earth - Life!

1.Jose Mourinho:

Jose Mourinho, the manager of Chelsea FC, the current English Champions has a problem. After back-to-back titles and a fortune to spend on players, he still feels he needs more players. His team is trailing behind Manchester United by 6 points in the Premier League. Now, Mr. Mourinho has all reasons to complain that he is not getting enough support from his boss, club owner, Roman Abrahamovich, the Russian oil tycoon despite the fact that he was permitted to make three high profile signings of international superstars, Andriy Shevchenko (from AC Milan of Italy), Michael Ballack (from Bayern Munich of Germany) and Ashley Cole (from Arsenal of London) with a combined value of close to £100 million. He has also publicly lambasted his side for under-performing and has been cribbing about his bosses, telling the media that he is not being given enough freedom to do what he wants to. Thats a brief summary of whiner 1.

2.Fernando Alonso.

Fernando Alonso, the current Formula One World Champion too had a problem towards end of season in 2006. He, at that time with Renault, was assured of his title half way when he had a massive 25 point lead over veteran Michael Schumacher of Ferrari. But then Michael Schumacher fought back and also took a lead in the Championship with two races to go, as he was equal on points with Alonso but had won more races. It was before the penultimate GP of the year at Japan when Alonso started cribbing. Please bear in mind that it was already announced that Alonso would be moving to Mclaren outfit from season 2007. Now Alonso starts complaining that his team and pit-crew are not supporting him as they feel if he wins he will take the car numbered 1 along with him to Mclaren and blah-di-blah. That was whiner number 2.

The third whiner is from real life and he is a scumbag anyways. So the lesser said about him, the better.

Now here are two cases of whiners from the sports world in detail. We come across people like this in all walks of life, who will not take the blame or even responsibility for anything if things go wrong. Why is it that they cant do so and how does one deal with such people and such situations?
