It's exhausting to keep up on all of things we need to be outraged about this team. I don't give a shit about the salute. I give a shit about winning but i also give a shit about the context in which this team is struggling. We are young. Period. I don't see how anyone can look at this team right now and say "yeah we are still as bad as we were at the start of the season." The defensive structure is starting to stick and it's rounding out their game. We have recently lost games where we have been the better team or at least as good as the opponent. It's frustrating. It's painful. It's disappointing. It's really hard not to give up on this team, but i don't think it's as bleak as it all may seem. Just my opinion and i know many many others feel very strongly otherwise.
I would also point out that while this may be a huge misstep on whatever veteran leader made this statement, i think i can also understand the mindset of "protect the kids." Whether right or wrong, i can understand that reasoning - if it is the reasoning behind the statement.
Anyways, i am done ranting.
