fans expect so much out of these kids. They have media responsibility, training, and on top it they have to do well in school. While they chose to play the sport, it is not fair to expect them to be perfect human beings. The big names are under the spotlight constantly, their every move seen and criticized by the media. I feel bad for Johnny, for the fact that he still has at least 2 more years of playing time before he can even think of moving up. I think it is the younger guys, who come in as all star freshmen, that have more trouble because they are just out of high school where their biggest worry was who they were going to take to prom. I truly hope he overcomes these issues and does great.
