As a former Massachusetts resident I remember how great Nomar Garciaparra was to to the Red Sox and how beloved he was to fans. Due to contract issues and injuries he was traded to the Cubs on the 2004 trade deadline. The Red Sox would go on to win their first World Series in 86 years that year.

The concept of an "Alpha Male" is all about being the dominant male or the "top dog".

In modern society, it doesn't matter how many people you can beat up that doesn't make you dominant and lands you in prison!.

So the real Alpha Males are people who have political power or lots of money.

I've sort of been in this position (except lower stakes because just video game bullshit, nothing competitive) and can confirm it does suck. XD

TLDR is I removed myself from a raid group because it was glaringly obvious that I was the weak link and they were too nice to say it, and they progressed to the next boss in the series the very next week afterwards. So, like... yeah. When it's obvious, it's obvious.
