The flood of Houston sports divorces since 2020.
J.J. Watt might be the most painful divorce of a sea of Houston sports divorces in the last two years.Once upon a time, there was a psychiatrist by the name of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, and in her 1969 book entitledthat human beings go through in processing the loss of somebody. In short, she said that we all go through the following five stages in processing loss — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
While sports should never be equated to life and death, the processing of grief when a sports figure leaves your life in some way — trade, release, free agency, retirement — does mirror Kubler-Ross' view of actual life and death loss. In Houston, we know this all too well. We've experienced a lot of loss in Houston over the last few years, with several prominent star players leaving, most of it extremely traumatic.
For purposes of this post, I know the title says"since 2020," but I am going to fudge the timeline to include Gerrit Cole's leaving in late 2019, since it was essentially the 2020 MLB offseason that he departed for New York. The exercise we are conducting here is a simulation. I want to operate as if we've never gotten out fo Stage 1 of the Kubler-Ross model, and try to rationalize all of these departures across our MLB, NFL, and NBA teams.
