funny, but seriously, other boards dont do this, like "rodney suggestions"? really, do you not think he already knows what he needs to do, do you not think tubby has told him what he wants out of him?
When you are a major college athlete, you expect things like this to happen.
I don't think anyone is telling ESPN to stop reporting negatively about Cam Newton because he is a "college athlete" and I am pretty sure EVERY player watches ESPN. When you are in the public eye, people are going to talk about you
If people on here were bashing kids personally or attacking their character, yes, that is a huge problem. But saying, "Rodney would be so much better if he could develop a 15 foot pull-up jump shot" I don't think is going to hurt too many feelings. When you are a projected lottery draft pick, people are going to talk about every tiny piece of your game, NBA scouts are going to talk about you in public, maybe on ESPN, about what you don't do well. NBADraft.Net offers extensive information to the weaknesses of every potential draft pick, should this not be allowed either?
Should we maybe not talk positively about them either? I am sure Trevor knows he is a beast, and Tubby tells him he is a beast, lets stop talking about it. Gosh, today on twitter Damian Johnson told Trevor he needed to develop post moves. Should Damian no longer be allowed to tweet? I mean, Trevor read that! I think Trevor knows what he needs to do and Tubby told him, why is Damian budding in?
No one, not one person, to my knowledge has criticized a player for their integrity, work ethic, character, etc. but when you play a sport that 15,000 people come watch every night and watch on TV and ESPN is there and all the local media is there, your game is going to get talked about, positively and negatively. It is that simple.
