Honestly, I’m a little disturbed at how much venom some of you have in response to this.
He’s trying to make a positive message. To use his platform to encourage positive, responsible behavior from his teammates. To hold themselves and each other accountable to their wives and families.
In a culture that supports, praises and applauds bad behavior from athletes, and a media that builds up in the hopes of tearing down, this is our reaction to a positive message?
He says he wants to “break out of the athlete box” but here in this thread people are making post after post trying to stuff him back in saying “who gives a damn about you and your teammates having a family dinner instead of popping bottles at the strip club? Shut up and get some sacks”
ever think that this is what leadership looks like at the unit level? Players putting each other in check.
how is that a bad thing? How could that do anything but help our team?
being a young black man comes with unique challenges that many of the old white dudes on this board, myself included, simply can’t understand.
To ridicule such a positive message, one intended to set an example for kids who many not have a lot of positive role models around is straight up sorry.
