Why do people put it out there in the media that they have a medical problem and then ask for privacy, when nobody would've had a clue they had a problem if they hadn't mentioned it?

They said he had an "undisclosed" neurodegenerative condition & didn't elaborate....not what I'd call full disclosure.

So even with that they are protecting his privacy to a degree, not going to any specifics, which the Media hoard would surely be pressing for with no doubt some inappropriate questioning from the gutter journos.

I don't agree Hammer did anything wrong, however neither did Api in my opinion.

In both circumstances the attackers got themselves in bad positions or got their foot caught as was it was in Api's case.

Fair point, but there is a situation where weaker guys are being buffeted around when trying to tackle stronger ones (Wishart looks pretty strong) and then players get in bad positions, and that's made worse with ever larger, faster and more mobile players.

That's exactly what I mean. On both occasions the attacker got into a bad position as much if not more so than the smaller defender left flailing.
