re: Texass WR sitting out due to current climate

And what exactly is he going through?

Must be tough having coaches and teachers and girls constantly tugging at you and supporting you since you started high school. Then getting to go to a major university in the best country in the world and play a game you love with the potential to make a career out of it and become a millionaire. Yep. Must really suck

Oh and if you fail at becoming a millionaire you receive a FREE 100k college education to go into the career field of your choice

That is an extraordinarily black-and-white way to look at it, but that's your opinion and you're certainly entitled to it.

You're saying he has all those things at his disposal (and you're right), but you say as if he just won the lottery and is some lucky person for it. He WORKED for those things. He worked on being a reliable receiver to the point that he can start on a Power 5 football team. He EARNED that 100k college education due to separating himself from his peers on the field as a prospect before college. Nothing was given to him.

If you want to know "exactly what he's going through" then I would turn on the news. People in this country, particularly African-Americans, are very disturbed at what they believe is systematic racism that has existed in the country. You don't have to agree with Brennan, or with anyone else that thinks that, but he still has his own opinion that he's entitled to. If this is his form of protest, so be it. I'd take a peaceful protest of sitting out a few games than the violent riots and looting we're seeing.
