LOL. OK, sounds damn sanctimonious to me.

Most are not criticizing this kid for choosing to go somewhere else for legitimate reasons. They're criticizing him for unnecessarily running down the other program and being inconsistent in his explanations.

Nobody expects an 18 year old to be completely media savvy. At the same time if he's concerned about building his brand, he should take into account his audience, and unfortunately in the current social media environment, everyone is his audience.

Burrow was masterful at not burning his former bridges. Most of the comments in this thread indicate that people are fine with where he chose to go. The issues are with how he did it and how he talks about it. Hopefully, he'll do a better job discussing it in his next interview.

You on the other hand did not seem to read most of these comments.
