There's some of that, but that's not the whole story. Not even close. There are also plenty of entitled kids who have been told they were going to be an NFL star since they were 5 years old who now have an outlet to cut and run at the first sign of adversity. Then there's the vast majority (the somewhere in between). Just like pretty much every situation in the world. Most people want to talk about one of the extreme ends, and there's a million people who want to counter with the other extreme end. 99%+ of the time, the truth is somewhere in the middle, but that's the least interesting part to talk about, I guess.
