Sambothegreat Walk-on

well at BYU. His first season was fantastic and the others not so much. I don’t see a reason to criticize him to hard though. Let’s be true fans here

This has been addressed at length. His wife jumped in to defend him. Quite funny

I think it’s wby “people” should avoid social media.

The problem was he was so hyped coming in. If he had been a 2* RM from Timpview

Most of the criticism I have seen is that he didn't live up to the hype.

No. They’re using words like terrible, worthless, miserable

So in your mind a "true fan" isn't allowed to ever criticize a player? Some of

No I'm not. You don't get to define fandom. Just because you don't like it

So someone who throws trash on the refs is the same? Suspended boy is the same?

Yes they are the same. You and I don't define it. You and I might categorize him

Too true. Sometimes they give up their health and happiness to ungrateful fans.

Yep... They do it all for the fans. There’s no self interest at all for these guys.

Never heard of an athlete giving up health for fans.

I’m not suggesting fans should be disrespectful but you’re kidding yourself if you think they do

It's crazy the number of people who believe this about college athletes.

So gratitude is inappropriate to the self interested?

Rule #1 of Social Media: People are stupid. And think it's great to share that stupid.

Do we have to cheer that David Leavitt guy that transferred to the Cows?

Dissing BYU athletes on SM is ridiculous. One thing is a message board, a whole other thing is SM... I'll even add
