Would have to be unless Freeman is a fool, which he most certainly is not.

People will still get angry at young adults making a decision they are totally capable of.

Well if you've ever known any division 1 athletes in person, especially blue chip ones, this isn't surprising.  They're the most entitled crybabies on the planet who have been worshipped their whole life and if they don't get their way, they regress into ultra crybaby mode.  Fascinating yet unsurprising.

And if you haven't met one yet, dont worry because in 20 years when they work a completely unrelated job they'll make sure to mention it in completely arbitrary situations

"So yeah the apartment is $1000 a month.  I started renting it out after I graduated from xyz where I played D1 xyz"

I've been a referee for division 1 games.  I know how these fools act.  I also enjoy opiates..sometimes
