Are you carrying around any baggage because of it? Just like any other profession where you are held to higher standards, you need to know what you're getting involved with when it comes to your employees.

Yep.
Your aren't interviewing this guy to be his friend...you are interviewing him to see if he is worth giving millions of dollars to play a physically, mentally, & emotionally tough sport. This is just one of many tests he is given...and he is given this test precisely because he is considered a top-notch player. The same reason that the media, fans, and other players will heckle him.
