Just play football Vanderglass. The very fans you are deriding are the ones that make your "livelihood" possible.
Boo hoo.
This is an emotional game. Do you know what emotional means. What camaraderie means
I agree, LVE sounds like he is emotionally wounded.
Yes, old boy, but I wanted to chime in.I apologize sir. That second quote was supposed to go to someone else.
LVE is right...
So is your job.I also get where he is coming from, BUT he is a sports figure which makes his and every other athlete’s job open to public praise and/or ridicule.
its easy for me... I dont care one bit if they are nice guys, bad guys, good or bad to their girlfriends or spouses. Dont care if they do cocaine and hookers 5 days a week. IM prior military and IM a big boy. The ONLY thing I care about is if a players makes the Dallas Cowboys a batter team. I never understand why people get so upset when an athlete says this or that.... who cares? They arent coming to your house for dinner.The funny thing about all this back and forth is if LVE causes one game winning sack, fumble or interception in any game this year, all is forgiven and he's back in everyone's good graces as a hero. Cowboy fans are so fickle or capricious and I'm right there with them.
He's defending his teammate and probably his friend. I'd hope one of mine would stand up for me.He is absolutely right, but he should not have said what he said publically.
It was heartfelt and raw but there is a reason why QBs are trained to say the same old rote.
Backlash can be a beach and he doesnt need it.
Fans tend to make it personal, players form bonds with each other so I get where he is coming from.
thats why players should just walk right on byfans when they are asking for pics or autographs. Its clear how they get treated. They should just take the money, play the game, and say F off to all those schmucks.Fans can be brutal but when you're making millions following a lifelong dream, fan/media criticism should not be something getting under your skin, just shouldn't. It's why we hear most players take fans with a grain of salt behind closed doors.
He was very specific about the things he’s upset about.
Things like how much a player makes is open for scrutiny.
Hardly anyone is going at these guys personally. Someone saying “you suck Jaylon” is part of his job.
this is the one that ALWAYS cracks me up. When people try to make it like, well... you make millions. Come and work the same crappy job I do... because only us with crappy jobs have the right to complain about anything. If you make lots of money..... just shut up and do your job.You could try working at the phone company? Criticism is part of the job and the public pays the bills, so put your big boy pants on.
What a whine fest and we thought he had dog hunting traits.
