I suppose this is a sign of the times, you see articles about young people asking for funds to help them move, or pay for vacations or whatever.
It no longer becomes about what you earned but what you feel entitled to, maybe that is how this is Seahawks relevant again. We come full circle.
We had some players that decided that it was no big deal if they took certain substances because they thought we were surely going to the SuperBowl and it didn't matter if such actions could endanger it. And we have fans apoplectic about it because this might "ruin" our rightful shot at the SuperBowl, as if we had already gotten the Golden Ticket punched and ready to go.
Some people just assume they are entitled to things, instead of seeing they have to be earned. Our fans need to see that based on some of the recent invective, and our players hopefully realize that now. We aren't guaranteed anything, we still need both work and luck.
And extending back on the topic of wanting vs earning, here is another example of a couple wanting something and asking others instead of earning it. They won't even give up their season tickets? Just one ticket? Oh boy.
I concede it was a strike of mild genius to try to turn Ebay into a sort of Kickstarter for Kids (Kidstarter??). Just not sure if when you combine begging for luxuries and parenthood as a status symbol it doesn't lead to bad things in the future. The freaking first rule of parenthood is "It is no longer just about you". People who do this kind of thing just don't get it and the last thing they need then is more kids.
