I definitely agree. That will remain a dark stain in his legacy.
But it’s not his whole character. And you see all these fellas all over the Internet trying to validate their morality by constantly hating on him for that in every post related to him even when it’s not about anything off-field related.
Some of them probably also committed serious mistakes in the past while young. Some of them probably didn’t treat anyone the way Tyreek has treated Tua. Many of them are probably writing it on the couch doing nothing while Tyreek and his family run a charity foundation to support and fund the younger generations. Where’s your morality, then?
We can’t forget what he did. But I don’t think it’s fair to label someone according to something he did in the past. Some people grow up, and change. Some don’t. Not every decision, good or bad, has the same impact or it’s taken under equal circumstances. It’s not as simple.
He’s not a role model. He’s not the demon. He’s just a football player. That’s it.
He deserved to be punished back then for doing what he did and rightfully got kicked out of his team and had to downgrade and play D2 for an additional year, and so did his draft stock plummet from a top RB prospect to a late 5th round punt returner pick. If he developed a HOF career from that point on then it is what it is.
This is what I mean. I understand people stating he’s not a good person but I don’t see consistency when the same people wish him the worst. That’s not being a good person neither.
