I'd call this a natural consequence of the changing dynamics of expectation. Being on the cover changes the way people see themselves, and they have to metabolize a different set of conditions. They're supposed to be superstars now, and if they don't live up to that, they've somehow failed.

It occurs whenever an athlete receives a particular level of attention that builds expectation.

We want to knock down the barriers to mobilizing the entire corporate email market.

It's not an issue of 'they were tried and failed.' They were never fully implemented.
