People really need to listen to this. Mike Harley tells a very intimate story starting at around 22:00. Hope some of you can listen and reflect on how the things you say online and on Twitter can affect some of these kids.

You think the slobs here that say really nasty shlt about the players care?

They don’t.

They will muster all the fake bravado and Internet muscles they can and say that he’s soft.

Mike has worked his *** off and I hope he has a great season. But Gen Z as a whole seems obsessed with depression & sadness

You'd assume 3 seniors quickly approaching the biggest night of their lives would be a bit more ecstatic about the season to start or Alabama specifically.

IDk, I think two things are at play here when it comes to gen z and their obsession with sadness and depression as you put it. First off, many high-profile celebs and athletes are coming out and speaking about their struggles with depression and it lets these kids know that it's okay to talk about it and that they're not the only ones feeling this way. When I was in my youth if I came out and said these sort of things to a friend they would've called me a *****. Lastly, social media is playing a large role in this IMO. There has always been bullying, ridicule, and shaming but in this age of technology, kids can't escape it like they could in previous generations. If someone was being bullied it used to be you went home and was away from all that. Now they go home and it follows them there through Facebook, snap chat, Twitter, and Instagram. Sports is the same way, you make a bad play, and instead of going home after the game to your family and being away from the comments fans made at the game now you go home and get on your phone and you got grown-*** people tagging you calling you a loser and telling you to kill yourself.

I do think that some are just saying to be saying it and get attention but a lot of it is a product of the world we live in and unfortunately it isn't an easy world for our youth.

Ignorant *** statement right here. Gen Z isn't "obsessed" with depression and sadness, we're just more aware of it and open to talking about it instead of bottling it up cause of sh*t like toxic masculinity and societal expectations. Society (and social media) is set up to create more anxious and depressed people than ever before, it's a serious problem that needs to be addressed

At the end of the day….they’re all just kids. They are not professionals, and this isn’t the NFL.

Criticism is fine, to an extent, but there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed.

There's a line that shouldn't be crossed with NFL players too that consistently is cause these guys make millions and therefore should be able to "handle it". At the end of the day... we're all human

It’s amazing it took hearing the words right from Harley to make some grown men realize ****ting all over a kid, especially one of our own, makes you a real POS.

It's one thing to **** all over a kid with your buddies during the game/post game when they play poorly, it's a whole nother thing to broadcast it on social media and tag these kids in disparaging and degrading tweets/comments.

The game is more mental than physical, just listen to them talk about the drop off in their performances when they weren't in a good headspace. Getting yourself mentally ready and airing **** out before you step on the field is one of the most important things you can do in game week preparation
