That is the route he chose in life knowing the consequences of failure.
But WHY is that the consequences of failure for that route? This keeps being trotted out as if it's just the way it is rather than the way WE make it. do fans have no responsibility here for it being this way? Could we simply STOP being complete fricking tools and support the players that chose our school?
For me, this isn't a question of whether it's like that or not...it is. It's whether or not it has to STAY that way. I'm arguing that it doesn't have to remain the status quo. We could, in unison, decide to NOT be assholes to our own players. We really could. Will you guys join me on that?
The problem is, too many LIKE being assholes and then turn around and argue it's just the way it is, rather than it's that way because of their own behavior.

I said the same thing yesterday. People excuse being an a-hole by saying "well, that's life" as if there is no alternative. They act as though they've got an obligation to be an a-hole because some other unrelated person was an a-hole to them at one point.
There is a distinct difference between being coddled and being compassionate. Telling Harris it is okay to handle things the way he has would be coddling him. Telling Harris the way he handled things is inappropriate but he has our support to pull through would be compassionate. Too many people fail to understand the difference and opt for being a complete dick to make sure no one thinks they're coddling him.
