My Important Letter to Johnny Football

For a while now (since approximately 10pm on Saturday night) I've had a few things on my mind that I feel are very important to share.  I'm disappointed in Johnny Football, and like the rest of you I'm certain that my opinion really matters.  So Johnny, here are a few of the issues I have with you:

1.  Because of your lack of personal expression at Saturday night's game, I'm not exactly sure what I will watch on ESPN this week.  There was once a time where playing well was news enough, but that day has passed.  Today ESPN thrives on reporting what you're doing wrong and without that news you have probably caused multiple reporters to be out of work. 

2.  Now that you've assisted the Aggies in winning their 2nd game of the season, you've set the standards a bit too high for our children.  They want to be just like you and when they lose their soccer/football/baseball game and look at us with tears in their eyes wondering why they can't win just like you, how do you expect us to explain to them that it's okay to not always win?  Because of you, parents all over the country will have to have tough conversations with their children.

3.  Do you really think it's fair to be so talented and at the same time have wealthy parents?  There are so many people in this world who are talented but come from a poor family, or come from a wealthy family but just don't excel in athleticism.  In order to even they playing field I think you are either going to have to disown your parents or stop scoring points on the football field.  I think this is a completely reasonable request and will make so many people feel better about their situation.

I expect better from you Johnny and clearly you need to change who you are and what you do so that I can feel better about you.  You're not a bad guy, you just make bad decisions but I think with this blog post I can get you pointed in the right direction.

Disclaimer: For those of you who may not have understood the tone of my post, it is meant to be sarcastic.  I like Johnny Manziel and just decided to poke some fun at the media who has ridiculous expectations for all celebrities.
