Things that annoy me on Wattpad

# Thirty One

So, I'm from South Africa and obviously I have never watched American football, but if I go by Wattpad there is only one position...

The Quarterback.

Okay, so from television I've gathered that there's a wide receiver and a linebacker as well, but all the stories with a football player, the guy is the quarterback.

It's frustrating, honestly, because what makes him so special? There are other positions as well, maybe less glamorous (I won't know) but equally as important, because without them the precious quarterback won't get the ball.

ALSO! Mr Quarterback is always the captain as well and the best player on the team.

I wonder if the Wattpad authors know what a captain's job is?

You don't get chosen to be the captain because you're the best player on the team, you get chosen to be captain because of your leadership abilities.

In rugby I have found that the captain is often NOT the best player, but he is an excellent leader, someone the team looks up to, someone they respect, someone who keeps them calm when the game is spinning out of control, someone who leads by example and so on and so forth.

That is what a captain is.

It's not a synonym for quarterback or the best player on the team people!
