You want to critique the poor play of a student-athlete? Fine. Comes with the territory. Just remember these are amateur athletes who are full time students first and foremost. But to use a major media outlet to write nothing more than speculation and fuel malicious rumors about a student athlete is despicable both on the part of the writer and the editors for allowing it to be published at all.
