I talk about the positives around the game 15 hours a week and can't write all my thoughts out, but beyond Rollo's reference to media coverage of injuries/fatalities, the negative miasma is directly tied to the Twitter (and other Social Media related) cesspool. Those that spend countless hours on it attacking every negative or challenging aspect of the industry want to pretend that the atmosphere of hopelessness they're fueling is the game's reality ~ and it isn't. My only recommendation is to not buy in to the false narrative of the people who can't enjoy or participate in the uniquely difficult endeavor which the sport presents at every level.
