Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. It must have been incredibly hard for him to tell the world. He was an icon and a hero to many individuals around the world who admired and looked up to him. Breaking this news to the world, especially in an era in which there were a lot of misconceptions surrounding that disease, must have been heartbreaking.

2. His teammates, like many fans around the world, admired and looked up to him. Therefore, hearing this news must have been especially difficult for them. You spend years with someone, getting to know them, and respect them, and then figuring out that they have such a horrible disease is always extremely difficult.

3. Yes, at that time there were many misconceptions about the disease and there were little to no treatments. Therefore, many players were scared of accidentally contracting the disease while playing with him and this caused fear and concern among other pro players.
