I am probably just speaking for myself, the kid is 18 years old and by definition cannot be the sharpest knife in the drawer. We were all the same way at that age. To me, there is a difference about what a guy does on instagram or Facebook and what he displays at a game. I really hope we never get to the place where if we go to a game we see him (or any other player) wearing a shirt, etc, in warm-ups saying cops are racist, American sucks, etc. Even if a person believes that, to force it down the throat of paying folsk/fans who in many cases disagree is not the place. I used to think we would never see it at a Kentucky game, but nowadays you can't be sure.

I am sure that 100% of us did things at that age...that was not going to please everyone. and we don't know any of these kids real situations of their families or peers. It is difficult to judge poorly on any kid, but darn easy to see good character.
I'm OK with anyone having a opinion, even if it is counter to mine. But, it isn't enough to just say "F%&@ Donald Trump". That isn't an opinion. That's a statement. You can turn it into a opinion but, you had better show me a reason you believe what you do. That is, if you want to be taken seriously.
I feel like a lot of people (especially kids) on social media just want to be included. So they spout off stuff they've heard or seen others say. No real reason for it other than they saw (fill in the blank) say it. So, they jump on board.
That comes from being young and inexperienced. It's also indicative of how we have become a society obsessed with social media and the perceived fame that goes with it.

No! You and I are great, man. I was agreeing with you, on what you were saying in response to dancat. I'm sorry my sarcasm wasn't clear. It's one of my faults on this board. I should stop trying to use it. It just doesn't come across in written form.
Good for Sky.
Also good for Devin, Paolo, TC, Wenyen, Demarcus, Ashton.... and all of the players who are using their respective platforms to do as they see fit and communicate their messages.

Its crazy how far some people will go too to find something to shame someone about. Digging through years of social media posts to find one negative thing, and usually its at an age, such as 14, where people just arent socially aware of the long term ramifications it potentially could have. I feel blessed to have grown up in an era without social media for the most part. The thought of having to police your kids for fear of them saying something stupid, that quite frankly any ignorant kid might think or say, is sorta sad that society is becoming that way. The phrase “he/she is just being a kid” really doesnt exist anymore.
Amen, and I still couldn't care less about social media. Life's to short for me to worry about any daily random brain farts.
To the country. Talking about how we need more money for police. Gtfo. The guy is so damn tone deaf. That's just a statement you don't make.
Surely you saw the sarcasm? OMG Or was that last sentence a passive aggressive jab at Cal. SMH either way.
