When you're a young franchise cornerstone player, the type who can lead a team to the World Series and contend for the MVP award on a yearly basis, fans would prefer you spend your offseason encased in bubblewrap. The last thing they want to see you do is get hurt playing a different sport, or jumping on a trampoline or carry deer meat up the stairs.
We here at The Stew can understand those concerns, but we also acknowledge that athletes should be allowed to have a normal, fun life outside of their sport. With that said, if we were Chicago Cubs fans, we might be a little concerned about Kris Bryant's offseason hobbies.
Yeah, everything about that video terrifies us. That shark not only swims right at Bryant, but it's also unclear whether the 24-year-old is in a cage. Is he actually just out in the open water with sharks! Why would anyone do that?
Fear not, Cubs fans, Bryant appears to have survived the event. He posted another picture from his Instagram account a few hours later, so we're assumed he made it out alive.
We're not actually outraged at Bryant, by the way. He's a grown up and he's allowed to make his own decisions. What he does with his off time is his choice. We just wish he would pick a safer hobby.
