I like this distinction Barrows imparts.

I don’t think Crabtree is a locker room “diva” per se. My view of an NFL diva is someone like T.O. -- someone who is divisive in the locker room, whose emotions explode at times. The cultural definition of “diva” or “prima donna” is: A vain and overly sensitive person who is temperamental and difficult to work with. Crabtree is more aloof than tempestuous. He’s someone who prefers to work by himself than with the group. And that’s where his problems – contract dispute, spat with Vernon Davis, uproar at camp Alex – have come in.
