Re: How is Telfair doing
Fair comment? My ***. This message board rarely has a fair comment. Nobody on this board seems to have such a concern over the fairness of criticizing players. I'd say that comment--criticizing the people who VERY UNFAIRLY put pressure on high school kids to perform to other people's certain expectations--is more fair than the kind of comments that those expectations lead to.
What I mean by that sentence is this. Fans and media over-hype players, leading to a backlash of how those players somehow failed to live up to expectations--expectations based on hype they had nothing to do with in the first place.
Example: 1) Bassy is going to be the next great NYC point guard; 2) Bassy turns out to be a pro, but not a star; 3) Bassy is a bust, etc. How's that for fair? That's the kind of bull**** this board is full of. So me criticizing the unfair hype is "not fair," but the bull**** hype is fair? Please...gain a little perspective. Whom is it more fair to criticize and comment on?
