I get it, partially, chasing the money.

With that, as a well to do white man, who did not have money growing up, why should I give two shits about Jayden Daniels, or Chase Young, (two starting NFL QBs from California who decided to run their careers through the Deep South) who unlike me were born in CA. I sprinted to CA after graduation. And the list is long of athletes chasing the money rather than what is moral.

Now you get some of these top athletes parents playing the Christian Card. (Young) But it comes down to, why the fuck am I taking up the fight and you send your kid to LSU, or Alabama, or Clemson.
