You don't see it?
I can entertain the cumulative argument of stupidity and certainly agree with those comments merely pointing that out. It's the ESPN types who tell the story and come off indignant. It's the comments you see around here dripping with the same. It's an epidemic in our public discourse. Manufacturered outrage to allow the outraged to feel superior to the POS who did "blah blah."
That's the context I'm coming from. I can see that in a vacuum it is a nonsequitur.
Also, I'm very much aware that I'm getting my self righteous on by commenting on other's self righteousness.

While I see your point, it comes with the territory of choosing to be in the spotlight. Public opinion has always offered up unwarranted criticism, it's just more magnified now. The fact Winston can't comprehend his circumstances and the position he is in worries me.
Honestly, I think most people are just baffled by some of his decisions and can't understand how someone with so much opportunity right in front of him can't maintain. I really don't think it's self-righteousness, but pity that this guy is probably going to do what we all think he's going to do.
