The football board takes a beating over here, but gentlemen, this is why. Story time: I grew up in middle class round rock in a good family. Mom stayed at home, dad worked his ass off and we had it pretty good. I was a fucking smart kid, my brother was not, but he has ADHD so the expectations were just inherently different. The expectations for me were doctor/lawyer/smart person career. Problem was, I couldn’t do homework. At some point, I couldn’t read books anymore. Just a mental block against both. And do you know what people who see a smart kid who doesn’t do those things say? “Work harder” “You’re entitled” “Apply yourself” “I know you’re capable, why can’t you meet expectations?” Well, as it turns out I have ADD too but wasn’t diagnosed until 32. Had I been diagnosed as a kid, maybe I would have developed some skills to “apply myself”. Maybe I wouldn’t have appeared so “entitled” by just getting by on test scores. So, now replace smarts with football talent, in many cases replace stable family life with the inverse, and replace ADD with fucking anything else. These are kids who may be dealing with some difficult shit. We have no idea. Your post takes potshots at the whole person without even considering the whole person. Does Juwan say and do some stupid shit on and off the field? Hell yes. Do we need to scream boomer takes at the sun in response? Hell no. Life isn’t as simple for everyone as you make it out to be, and I for one will not stand for disparaging kids we don’t know. Tl;dr - Fuck off football board
