It's not fair to expect a 20-something star athlete to stay out of the spotlight, but we can expect that he handles himself with a constant realization that you're under a microscope in that spotlight.
If he'd use some sense, there's no reason he shouldn't be out enjoying his star status.
Fuckin live it up, bro...just use some damn sense.
Agreed. I hate when the 35 and up crowd chastise guys who are in their early-20s for having the audacity to go out and enjoy the nightlife. Even more ridiculous when the criticism occurs during the offseason.
I used to defend Manziel back in 2014 when they'd pile on him for going to Vegas and such in June. He wouldn't be causing trouble or anything but some random club goer would recognize him and snap a quick photo which would result in an onslaught of criticism from 40 and 50-something year old journalists slamming him nonstop just because a 22 year old had the nerve to go to a club during his off time.
Newsflash, people, most people who are 25 and under haven't reached that stage in their life where a nice Saturday is
"going to Home Depot. Buying some wallpaper, maybe some flooring, and maybe a trip to Bed, Bath, & Beyond if there's time." (Old School reference)
