After the sport, Sands walked towards followers who had been telling him the workforce’s effort was “not good enough.”

Another fan, who was comparatively calm, instructed Sands supporters might be there “through thick and thin” and are “never gonna leave.” 

“But this, right here, what you guys are doing, it’s not enough,” the fan added.

The fan then instructed Sands to “do something about” the dropping that he was “sick and tired” of, whereas one other added, “You’re supposed to be the captain, right?”

Sands listened, however he had had sufficient.

“You don’t think we come in every day and f—ing work?” Sands mentioned. “Listen, I will tell you something right now. Everyone who’s on that field hurts more than you do. It’s a fact.

“You suppose anybody is pleased with that? No one out there’s pleased with that. We’re f—ing working, OK?”

WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE

A fan then reminded Sands the team is 0-6-1 in its last seven games, while the fan who did most of the talking asked Sands if he realized how much the team means to fans.

Sands still didn’t appreciate the suggestion players didn’t care.

“It’s disrespectful to everybody on the market while you speak like that,” Sands mentioned.

Sands and the fan respectfully shook hands, but Sands left the fans with one more message.

“Don’t say we don’t care, OK? Because that’s f—ing disrespectful,” he said.
