Travis Hunter Appreciation Thread (Awards: HE12MAN, Walter Camp, Biletnikoff, Bednarik, Lott, Paul Hornung, AP PotY)

All I pay for subscriptions and still the game is blacked out here in California for some bizarre reason, and the apps detect my VPN of course.

Is he playing any defense yet?

Not blacked out for me. 4 receptions on 4 targets. Hasn’t played defense yet.

The people you describe are worse. People hate on Travis (mostly) because of his choice of partner.

Yes a lot of people hate on him for his choice of partner but almost all of those people would find something else to hate on him for if he wasn't with that partner or didn't have one at all.

A large number of people are going to hate on him because he is young, successful, and Black, and doesn't try to hide who he is.

In every group of people you have a certain number who feel bad about their situation or station in life. They see others who are more successful than they are and it bothers them. It doesn't bother them enough for them to fix the situation though. Instead they think that if they can drag others down that will elevate them. They don't mind inventing reasons to drag others down.

Travis is different enough from them that they have no problem trying to drag him down. In their mind he is where he is because God gave him gifts, because he has been given special treatment as an athlete, special treatment because of his race, given more than he "deserves."

Of course the whole thing is ridiculous. He has athletic gifts but nobody works harder than he does, nobody puts more into it. Nobody is liked more by coaches and teammates for who he is as a person.
