Hi, RingerFC! Love the podcast. Anyway, this analogy doesn't work because of "pressure" or transfers. Those are just two of the byproducts of the forest view instead of the trees. Neymar is ARod because they were both immensely hyped teens who actually managed to live up to the hype, became the most expensive stars in the world, and then somehow managed to be hated by everyone - including their own fans. That's what makes them compelling.
