Having said that, I know this is hard to comprehend sometimes, but he is just a kid. When we were that age every one of us did stupid shit, and acted in ways that make us cringe now.
Even if he is getting paid, he isn't a pro athlete yet, so to me he is just a kid and deserves some slack.

Every generation of youth starting from about the 60's on just gets a little softer(mentally and emotionally) and softer and softer over time. But this shouldn't be surprising at all because the perfect storm of tearing down the nuclear family from generation to generation combined with living in the wealthiest most powerful country in the world WILL DO THIS.
Each generation gets a little further from God, less moral absolutes, less patriotic for their country and committed to just self-preservation only(I am god) as 'immense wealth' allows for this lazy narcissistic living to this point we have gotten to.
And I am not trying to dis on any one generation either but we have gotten to a ridiculous point e.g of a grown man jumping up into the stands crying in his mommy's lap because he did not receive a trophy because he lost.
Wealth IMO can be far more lethal to a society and culture IF not handled appropriately than poverty.
Compare the 30's youth generation(considered the greatest) to today's generation. The greatest generation said "Here, hold my beer!" and today's generation say's "Just give me my Starbuck's and phone and leave me alone!!"
This is how far we have fallen. And it's not apples to oranges either that's BS !!
