People often say to me that it's great players can now open up about their struggles.

Can they really? I certainly wouldn't encourage it

I’d honestly say the exact same about mental health. When a player opens up everybody will praise them for their bravery and honesty in the moment.

But the minute a discussion about something like being captain/crucial penalties comes up you can guarantee they’ll be a lot of people questioning wether they’re mentally strong enough.

That is mental health in general. A company will often hire a person with mental health problems to be seen as inclusive but as soon as they realise that PTSD and BPD are not some random letters but genuine diagnoseses that greatly affect their new emplyee they want nothing to with you :/
