I think in general it's smart not to be overly critical of student athletes.

Um...the fans are the customers. Their scholarships would not exist without us going to games or watching on TV.

So that entitles you to criticizing a 20 year old from your couch?

The OP specifically uses the word "censor" in the title.

I interpreted "we" should censor what "we" say to mean self censure, not mods

These kids get criticized heavily in the film room and in practice.
