DB ESPN for carrying a press conference for this bullshit.

_________________

Are we sure that was planned?


If so, then approved

His teammates told him to do it.

He also said "The University of….", picked up the Illinois hat, set it down, and then said "…Kansas".

Don't see the need to fuck with your home-state U.

Exactly. That's the big problem with this whole thing.

Now.....In a way, I can see the kid being deserving of a DB. Just kind of the "hey, look at me" bullshit attitude of today's youth. Sort of the sports equivalent of a selfie at a funeral.

But it's all a sham, anyway. The whole "student-athlete" B.S. I kind of hope it all turns into a reality show just to shit in the bed of the NCAA.

Dick move

Yup.

"Remember the guy who pulled that move with the Illini hat"

No one else will either in five years.

That is a boatload of fuckery from top to bottom. On the kid's side you have the dickhead move. Then you have the bloated mother giving her Her-ca-lees clap, while the too cool for the room father with his sunglasses stretches like it is a day at the beach. Then there is the school with a student population on hand as if it is some big, communal event. Finally, just fuck you ESPN...fully complicit in the burgeoning exploitation of America's youth.

It really doesn't take much more than a superficial scratch of the surface to be disgusted by major college athletics.

Does ESPN have a whole show devoted to this where they go from location to location across the country detailing these announcements?

Hey ESPN, maybe you can take a tour with the next group of dudes when they go to Thailand for an underaged tour.

How dare someone is held accountable for poor behavior, especially when it is supervised by a team of adults.

Yes, they do. 4 of the top 5 recruits were announcing this afternoon so they had an hour on it.

The kid actually didn't come off as big of a dick as the father. Sunglasses inside? Embarrassing.

That's messed up.

I misread your question.

I'm sure there are people that would pay to see it. I just don't think they should be charging the students he goes to school with to see it.
