Glenn Maxwell believes that athletes keep their opinions to themselves out of concern about media misunderstandings.

“I sort of said, ‘it doesn’t really matter’, but it was more about it doesn’t matter if you dwell (on the exit) or not because if you dwell, you’ve already missed a game or two, you’ve missed an opportunity to play well for your country, and if you don’t dwell, you’re focusing on the next game. So when I say it doesn’t really matter, that’s what I was referring to.”

Maxwell said.

“It’s up to the individual if they wanted to dwell on it, but there’s not enough time to. I’m not saying for one second that we as an Australian team didn’t care. At no stage was I saying that, but all of a sudden, that’s coming out as a headline. I was like, ‘well, that’s not true at all’. We certainly cared and that’s all we cared about at the time. We wanted to win the World Cup,”

He added.

The 34 year old voiced his disbelief at seeing the headlines after learning that the media had misrepresented his statements. According to the Australian, events like this make athletes hesitant to talk candidly with reporters out of concern that their statements could be misrepresented by media outlets afterwards.

“Basically, when I saw the headlines, I went, ‘Bugger media, it can go stuff itself’. A lot of players do that, because when they see headlines that takes something completely out of context, they do get a bit shy and standoffish, instead of saying exactly what’s on their mind or exactly how they feel,”

Maxwell added.
