And I would love to hear your take on why kids keep going to Uga to play ball when they often are not valued as human beings but simply valued for their athletic ability.
It’s obviously complicated but we’ve taught our youth a bunch of bad lessons by our actions and systematically destroyed the support structures important to their psychological development:

A. The “system” will determine your success not you
B. Character is not important. They have no sense of dignity and/or respect.
C. Rules & standards/laws will be arbitrarily applied.
D. Rebelling against authority is tolerated regardless of the circumstances
E. Priorities are placed on quick riches as opposed to lifetime earning
F. Education is unimportant

We’ve told our most disadvantaged youth they are not equal, they can’t compete, etc. It’s a very bad thing we’re doing to our youth.

Mutt land is just a microcosm of a world they’re immersed in except they’re superficially idolized for having unique talents. The coddling, turning blind eyes to improper behavior is on steroids & there’s little if any requirements to conform to anything but the most basic norms. Their peers affirm this during recruiting visits- fast women, money, weed on the side, etc. There’s no thoughts of academic achievement should things not pan out, only reinforcement that if things go well they can be that guy with the multi-million dollar contract, fancy cars, etc.

The few adults in their life that should be providing solid life advice are complicit in this. It’s really sad. Everyone’s more interested in getting a slice of the action at the expense of the child & nobody’s watching their 6. It started a very long time before the kid was identified as a potential Div 1 student athlete. If as much effort went into developing these kids into educated adults as went into their athletics, the outcomes would be massively different.

The average mutt fan has no use for these kids once they take the uniform off. Compare that to many of our GT kids. Obviously nothing is 100%, but the outcomes with the GT kids are clearly superior with the exception of those that make it to the NFL.

We’ve broken down the community structure critical to personal development. We fractured families, “Murphy Brown’d” fathers roles in children’s development, wasted educational resources and/or just outright neglected to provide them, allowed lawlessness internal to the communities at levels that are wholly unacceptable, and we discouraged instead of encouraged business development, etc.

Then it’s the old self-fulfilling prophecy. People are no good because they’re not worth a damn because they came from that area that sucks. It leads to racial issues and it’s roots lie in the way we’re attacking the issue. It has been fundamentally wrong for 6 decades and doubling down on bad policy is only going to make it 4 times as bad.

Who needs community structure when you have the internet and a thousand Facebook friends?
