I don’t take shots at kids and let them dictate my emotional well being. I don’t follow them around on social media and comment on their posts either like some do. So no, it’s not an oversimplification. It’s exactly what it is.
Using that logic you shouldn’t follow college football because it’s played by kids. Either that or you’re peripheral fan who really doesn’t care if Miami wins or losses.
Our QB is 20, that’s a child. Malik rosier had baby fuzz on his face when the entire fanbase was going after him, Duke was 19 when then entire fanbase was started rocking his jersey and rooting for him, Sean Taylor was 18 on that 2001 squad.
Unless you are going to say as soon as they commit/sign to school then it’s fair game to be emotional vested then you are not not being intellectually honest. And even then your line for “adulthood” is arbitrary.
Dj Ivey, pope, Wiggins and rob Knowles have taken a beaten on these boards for their mistakes and the bulk of there ****ups all happened before they turned 21. Are they fair game? Did you exempt yourself and give them a pass? Again, where is your line for when it is acceptable to be emotional vested?
Did you cheer when rashada or Francis commit?
I said nothing about taking shots or any social media stuff that’s an entirely different conversation but taking shots at fans for being emotional vested in the decisions these athletes make and then hiding behind the excuse of “they are kids is weak sauce”.
Ps: you are on a recruiting board on a fanatic site, I’d say you yourself are emotionally invested whether you want to admit it or not. Just be real dude, you may not like it but this is where we all are
. Acting like an 18 year old is a grown man when they still years away from being able to enter a **** bar and get a drink.
