Being around male athletes 24/7 really puts into perspective how insanely masculine most men's sports culture still is. There's this constant pressure to perform a certain version of masculinity, and showing any kind of softness almost feels like you're going against the grain.

I genuinely can't imagine any of the guys from my boxing team casually saying they spend their free time baking cakes or making chocolate, they'd get laughed at and clowned relentlessly.

Which is why I think Will and Mack are incredibly lucky, not because they're different, but because they seem to be in an environment where they can be different without having to hide it.

The fact that will can talk about baking or mack can be openly affectionate and nobody in the room seems interested in policing them for it feels kind of miraculous. They get to exist as these soft, slightly dorky versions of themselves in one of the most hypermasculine environments imaginable, and their teammates seem to meet them with affection instead of ridicule.
