Moronic

Happy New Year.

Parents taking to social media to talk smack about a kid after a game is moronic, so is a parent building a PR website for a HS athlete. IMO

Because he also hashtagged a negative comment about him.

The website is no different than having Hudl account which, by the way, is also a website.

Sites like Hudl and MaxPreps are team-centric sites. A personal website has nothing to do with a team.

Do a search for "Hudl" in here and see how many player highlight links come up.

 

Exact same thing. Highlighting an individual player. Hardly new or unique.

I'm with Clyde on this. But, regardless, we celebrate collectively when these kids land offers. So, who gives a rip if they conduct some self promotion - it's a means to an end. I don't care if he posts a billboard on 75. He's a good kid and a good teammate.

Then don't complain when folks from Riverview FL say the kid is not as advertised after a 25 point blow out. Self-promotion and harsh criticism go hand in hand!

You're mistaking me for someone else. Where did I complain?

 

With that said, if it's an adult ripping a kid on Twitter, as originally reported, that's garbage - in my opinion.

I went back and re-read your original post. You and I disagree on a parent building a website to promote a son/daughter. I see nothing wrong with it.

 

Assuming that's what happened. Perhaps they hired a service to help them? Many do.

 

Sure, he's subject to ridicule - opposing high school student fans being the most likely to use it against him. But, such is life when you're one of the best players in the 9th - website or not.

 

Looks like we agree that adults ripping on Twitter is out of bounds.

One other comment on this and I'll stop. If CVH gets a ride somewhere, it won't be because of a website. However, if the website helps (in some small way) a family obtain what basically equates to a winning $100,000-$150,000 lottery ticket, why wouldn't you do it?

 

It certainly in no way shape or form makes you a selfish player or bad teammate, nor is it a poor reflection of the parents or their approach to helping their son or daughter.

If he goes to Pepperdine, that ticket pushes across the $250,000 barrier.

Agreed. I was being intentionally conservative.
