Uh, I'd say that deals a bit more with the shithead attitude of Manziel than rich people in general.
I think Manziel is a douche, but I do find it funny that capitalism seems to be stopped at the front door of these threads.

Then why not mention the [perceived] shithead attitude, and leave qualifiers like "spoiled rich kid" out of the narrative? Maybe it's just me, but when I read/see/hear whiny comments like that, it tells me more about person A than it does person B.
You can perceive me however you'd like.

I'm all for capitalism. Ohio State has more money than most schools, so offering to pay would only benefit us. If that happens though, I think in no way, shape or form they should also be getting a scholarship on top of a salary.

That's all this is. If it was a number of other players most of these posters wouldn't have any gripes.
It's sad that a Wrestler in MN can't produce music under his own name because some archaic model of "amateur" athletics says so. Or a second string football player who wants to start a business selling 3rd party cell phone plans but cant because he isn't allowed to profit off of his name while in college. I can't believe how many people are defending the system...
