OK! You guys know you are family already. So it is here I am coming to vent as a fan only. WTF!
Was checking out the threads on another site and came across one with this title:
Talent = Thugs, Gangsters, Convicts, Felons...
As I dug deeper I saw there were not only one but 2 confused souls posting in this thread and I just had to comment. The thread took a turn south (didn't think it was possible) when the 2nd fan said that recruiting needs to get back to the ghettos and the not 2 parent households to pick up hungry kids that have talent. Now while I understand where this is coming from I can't believe that folks really think that the greatest athletes can only be thugs, gangsters, convicts, and ghetto children with single parent homes. I really thought were were in 2011! While I know fans are desperate to have this team get back to greatness going the ignorant route isn't going to cut it! There are talented kids at every level and walk of life. Looking for the best TALENT and the smartest player at their position should be the priority, regardless of where they come from. Just in shock that people have stressed themselves into making dumb statements. Especially, i'm assuming that they have never been to a ghetto.
