What does a young twenty something know about anything?
He had a gift and a competitive spirit. He leveraged that into where he is now. He wanted to play football in the NFL.
And you are flat out wrong about entering the NFL and not wanting fame. Plenty of players are looking to make a buck and don’t give a darn about fame. Others, like Josh, accept it as a price you pay for the gig. Ricky Williams didn’t want fame, Cam Newton did. Neither is wrong for feeling the way they feel.
And acting like we are entitled to every minute of an athlete’s life because he makes big money is another example of how money effs most things up.
