Looks like everything you are saying is pretty accurate. We also have to remember that tearing down that "superstar" is not helping him either. It just makes people lash out that try and protect the player.:thumpsup:

Surely you don't think it is ok for a kid to never face reality. If the kid is that good or mentally tough enough he won't be bothered about the crap around him. More goes into a "superstar" than just a sport, there are things also outside of sports, like school, community, etc. If the parents aren't helping them, who is left. It is not tearing down, it is keeping in check and trying to keep a team together. You seem to know the problem and who is the cause, why turn a blind eye? Address the situation and move on. If you are not on one course TOGETHER, you are on several courses for failure. By the sound of things you all are the latter part!
