Yet your generation is the reason this one is F****D.!!This is the PERFECT snapshot of EXACTLY why everyone with a brainstem thinks this younger generation; along with the USA, is seriously F@#$d! I'm depressed that my generation didn't do a good enough job raising em better.
It wasn’t an intelligent post regardless. And I agree could be completely misinterpreted but reading it you know how this is going to be interpreted and it’s probably also the reason why it was immediately taken down.Or... the post was completely misinterpreted or taken out of context and you guys are trashing a kid for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
How’d this kid get past our ‘we only recruit kids that fit our culture’ that everyone talks about?
I mean it’s hard to get mad at idiot kids for being idiot kids. Chalk it up to a life lesson and knock someone’s head off on special teams and we’ll call it even. I get worried when the same kids keep making mistakes, this I don’t have a problem with. Honestly do think underclassmen shouldn’t be on social media about the program if they can help it anyways.Yep. It's clear he's not quite up to speed on how this NIL thing works. Thinks it's free money for every player? Pretty soon we'll have a lady vol upset she's not getting Olivia Dunne money.
Pertaining to the continual generation-blaming that so often takes place here, this quote sums-up my thoughts well:

Oh I agree its our fault. Timeouts and participation trophies were stupid. However... no one gave a **** about our feelings when we were growing up. You had to do what you were told whether you liked it or not.Yet your generation is the reason this one is F****D.!!
Our generation just has a cellphone and can air out his or hers feelings like yours couldn’t or back then you’d be seeing the same crap.
It’s been an overcorrection, as is so often the case. We can acknowledge kids’ (and adults’) feelings without validating every single emotion someone has. We’ve gone from “your feelings don’t matter” to “your feelings are all that matter.” Gotta find the happy medium.The
