I'm going to go along with your post and imagine that you are being 100% geniune instead of using sarcasm. If you are using sarcasm than my apologies. Either way, I'm pretty sure your comments and attitude are leaning more towards the "bandwagon" side of being a fan. To say you hate him is a bit much you think? I mean, just looking at the public things surrounding Tyler, he sounds like he's had it pretty rough. I'm not taking up for him or making excuses for carrying guns but he's owning up to it like a man. If you truely did believe in Tyler as a player and a person than maybe this did him more good than bad. I'd be thankful that he got caught carrying guns and pray that he has the smarts not to put himself in this situation again. If he's packin' guns around the wrong people than he's likely to get a hole in his head instead of being kicked off of a college basketball team. Personally, I hope he's allowed to finish up his last year so he can get a degree and hope he works like hell to improve before the draft. Even though he carries a lot of extra baggage now, if he admits and owns up to his mistakes than he should be given a second chance and will probably get a shot to play in the NBA. I don't understand why people like you don't realize that these 18-23 year old kid / adults do make mistakes and at the end of the day are just human. If your a real fan, you'd support him through this and hope he changes things around. But if not, than stick with your bandwagon label.
