Totally disagree, you're saying that it's media pressure that causes the team to lose? When the team is winning there is no pressure. It's when the team goes on prolonged losing streaks when the media pressure starts. I'm going to say the media and fan pressure has almost no effect on the way the team plays, these guys are professional athletes. Most the pressure these guys face come from themselves for not winning or not performing the way they feel their capable.
