This is an actual take that an actual human being thought up and said, "I should write this down."

My jaw literally dropped as I was reading this.

Yeah I was disappointed by this piece also.  My take was that it’s reflective of a broader trend — that society is increasingly celebrity-obsessed and entitled to personal access to celebrities, and in sports, the star athletes — and especially the Hman frontrunners — are celebrities.

It’s like an entertainment writer feeling upset that he didn’t get an interview with a glamorous actress at the Oscars so he spews venom and says she shouldn’t be surprised if she’s snubbed for an Oscar because she didn’t pose for a selfie with him and others.

Apparently, it sounds like many journalists felt snubbed because a student athlete was actually studying, and this guy was just dumb enough to write how he felt.

Imcidentally, my son and I got Bryce’s autograph after the scrimmage and he was incredibly nice and down-to-earth. My impression is that he gives of himself so fully — to his teammates, to the university, to his fans, to the kids he serves as a role model for — that he just has to prioritize his very limited time and superhuman energy.
