These “better than thou” people think they always know best for everyone. Seattle might be a better home for him to practice intolerance of opinion..
People need to get off of their high horse when it comes to today’s athletes. I watched a lot of college studs from Pop Warner football through college. Many, not all, are spoiled brats who have been catered to from grade school up. Teachers carry them and peers and adults fall all over themselves for an opportunity to be part of their lives. When they get to college they continue to get a pass and live pretty good including a social life like no ordinary student could ever enjoy.
I coached one of these brats in junior baseball and when he did not get his way, he pouted, and I benched him. He made all state in football and at the end of school he had not passed his SAT. He went to OU and started his freshman year. Two years later he was gone. Even OU could not deal with him. He is but one of many examples.
Bystanders makes many good and accurate points. There are a lot of quality hardworking young people in college athletics but there are many bloated heads with exploding egos. Too bad that many coaches and administrators do not stand up to the bad in support of the good. A 20 year old student athlete is just that, a 20 year old student athlete. And if the administration is going to abide by their demands over my history with my university dating back 60 years, I am out.
