The difference between you and him is that you weren't a multimillionaire celebrity whose actions come under scrutiny by the league's commissioner and who by virtue of your status have people looking at you as a meal ticket and waiting to accuse you of some impropriety just so they can make a buck. Nor are people who call themselves fans of yours dreading that you may not be available to them (because of your lack of discretion), depriving them of the pleasures of watching your talent.
But other than that, you're both the same.
