Seriously people, delete your old accounts/posts! Also, I know the media and pop culture like to whitewash the morality of schoolchildren, but if anyone remembers actually being in high school, this is how a lot of guys talked and acted. That's not an excuse. I myself didn't speak this way and certainly didn't post anything obscene on social media, but what I think the general public needs to understand (especially the older generation) is that this language from these players in their youth wasn't exactly unusual or uncommon. Hateful rhetoric like this starts in elementary school and only gets worse after that until you reach college where all of a sudden everyone is more grown up (for the most part). I don't think this was a case of these people actually being anti-whatever, but moreso just a sign of immaturity and crowd following. Not sure a witch hunt is in order, but at the same time, not every teen acted like this in high school, so there is no complete excuse for it. --- Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest. ...
