Lol we can agree to disagree here. 20 is not a child. Idk why what I said struck such a nerve with you to react so vehemently. If what is being implied is true, he skipped out on practice and a scrimmage due to immaturity. That shows a lack of character and idc if that makes you “sick”. Grow up. 

That’s rich on so many fronts. First of all you’re conflating competitiveness with character. And second, 20 is absolutely still a kid, hence “good kid.” 
 

If you think I need to “grow up” for calling out people dogging on kids that can’t even have a beer legally yet, then that’s for you to reconcile within yourself.

Look if you give up on your team because you aren’t first team then that is very much a character/egotistical issue. I’m not sure how removed from 20 you are, but they are adults and should be held accountable.

Also, If we are using age legality as an example, they are legally allowed to die for our country, which is a bit more adult than drinking a beer.

The point is that we don’t know that he actually gave up on this team as you’re insinuating. All other accounts have been very positive on him I’ll go with that. If he’s struggling the answer is not to dog him and act like we have any idea what’s actually happening with him.

Yes I know I even stated in my original comment that was only applying to if this were true.

The drinking age was lowered in the 70s to compensate for this “injustice” DUIs and fatal accidents from them skyrocketed. Care for a repeat.

I think you’ve identified a societal issue there. And you’re literally calling him a kid and adult within the same interaction, so clearly you’re conflicted on it. 
 

I’m 38. Everyone has a different journey and different makeup. I take issue when “fans” imply someone is either not a good kid or lacks character when they have literally zero idea who he/she really is and what ultimately drove him/her to a decision to act in a certain way.

I was replying to a different comment that said he thought he was a good kid, and I simply said if he quits after adversity (if that is indeed the case) then he’s not quite a good kid. I think you’re making this was more of an issue than it is.

Dude I do not care about that. I was talking about the absurdity of using drinking age as an indicator of maturity.

Let’s just hope you don’t think that if your son or daughter quits after adversity.

I’d say the stats suggest 21 is a better indicator of maturity than 17.

Depends on the context. I would have a conversation with them if it was something similar to this. Like Alex said, we don’t even know if it is the case. If it is, it shows a lack of character. If it’s not the case, then it’s a non-issue.

He is being paid six figures to practice and play. Either show up or GTFO.

You would tell them they’re not quite a good kid? Yikes

Can always count on you for reasonable takes

Does Coach Top coach Tyanthony Smith outside of Texas? The reason I ask is that he posted a cryptic message today. If not, any idea what this could be about?

You are trying to justify a player skipping practice because he is unhappy over playing time. Yeah. I'm unreasonable. LOL

Rojo no one will take you seriously if you keep making obtuse counterpoints. Instead of being stuck on the “good kid” aspect, focus on the character issues. I would talk to them about integrity and the importance of keeping your word.

Did he skip practice? I didn’t read that.

The “character” issues will reveal themselves over time. But not yet.

Correct. Not even drinking age.

And if some other party failed to keep their word?  Say regarding playing time?

Yes I know. I stated a hypothetical and then got in an argument.

You literally said he’s not quite a good kid if he quits after adversity. I’m just taking you at your word.

We have no idea what he’s been promised by prior coaches, what his family is telling him, what pressures are going on at home, if he struggles mentally, etc. Things don’t happen in a vacuum. You can address character issues with your own son as you’d actually know him. You can’t diagnose character concerns with someone you don’t know is my point. We can be bummed as fans that he may leave the team, but questioning his makeup is unfair.
