they're still just kids

Personal attacks are never ok. But attacking his play is now fair game. He’s paid and plenty of fans help pay that salary with donations to the collective. This is now a job. Nobody gets mad at a company or a boss that tells his employee he’s not good enough and/or fires them, Welcome to the new world of college football the players wanted.

He should stay off social media.

This is exactly how I see things. This young man is a professional athlete, paid to execute on the field for UM. Through 3 games, his execution has been subpar. I'm sure he's trying his best, but he simply isn't doing the job to the standard.

Keep the criticism above board and avoid personal attacks, of course. But, if he's going to take the checks, he needs to learn to take the criticism.

And clapping back or sticking your chest out on social media when your tape through 3 weeks has been putrid is a bad look. Players who are actually doing the work and actually "don't hear the noise" don't have to always tell everyone about it.

Wyf did it say? When will we learn to screenshot this stuff?!?!

The weapons formed against him (bull rushes, swim, rips, slants, etc.) shall indeed prosper until better technique is applied.

I saw Kyle Wright getting cursed out walking to locker room in OB as his dad was trying to fight off fans in stands, these players built different..

Remind me of legendary meme from decade plus ago (straight washed)

He deserves criticism. So does the 2 coaches that keep trotting him out there

 

[JamesQuall]

At least he kept his guy from getting past him

...for an adult male.

I cannot believe what a loser a fan has to be to rag on our guys who are kids.

Simultaneously, players are going to have to learn to deal with criticism from idiot fans and podcasters if they wanna do this for a living at a high level. It goes with the turf.

You can’t cash 6-figure checks and complain about being a kid.

Can’t have it both ways.

Dude can't even spell Canes correctly

 

[Pearson704]

Yep

Good, it was a poor choice on his part and I hope he understands why.

He can post scripture and affirmations of faith all over his apartment, locker, car, playbook, wherever; but for the sake of the Lord almighty, please don't do it on social medial after that performance.

Mario said it in his presser. 'The only thing that can stop Miami, is Miami.'

exactly ... context matters

Multiple things can be true, and usually are, in life. Here they are, in case anyone is confused:

1. SJ is a paid athlete (no, he's not a student athlete, he's a paid professional). He isn't going to gain a single thing posting **** like this on social media, this doesn't benefit him at all. I'm not going to pretend like I'm some almighty power and say some dumb **** like "he needs to stop posting on social media and focus on getting better". I'm 100.0% sure a social media post isn't why he's playing poorly, but this still doesn't benefit anyone at all, and is totally unnecessary.

2. If you tweet at an athlete, or DM them on instagram, or send them a singing telegram, you are a completely useless piece of **** as a human being. Get a ******* life, for real. Go to work. Talk to a woman. Get your money up. Touch grass. I'm as unhinged a lunatic as anyone on here when it comes to Miami football and how it impacts my life. I realize I'm sick. But holy ******* **** I cannot even begin to imagine the embarrassment I would feel as a man to tweet or message or contact SJ, or any other player on the team, to talk negatively to them. I would beat the everloving **** out of my kid if I ever found out he was doing some sorry *** **** like this. If you or anyone you know does stuff like this, remind yourself or them that they are a stain on society and to be better. Pathetic, repulsive behavior for an adult male.

Arguably the single best post Ive ever read on this site.
