If you look at this shirt...I mean REALLY look at this shirt, it should piss you off. It does for me. I look at this shirt and it makes me sick to my stomach.
There are several reasons why this shirt bothers me, and I'm going to try and explain...
1. "Lazy but Talented"...what is the moral behind this phrase? What/where is the motivation? You're talented, ok, there are a ton of people with talent. But you have the audacity to tell me that you're lazy as well? Stupid...plain stupid.
2. I WAS the lazy but talented kid. I look back at the talent that I wasted not working as hard as I should have been. My college career was cut short because I was too lazy to go to class. I look at this shirt and NIKE wants kids to think that it's cool to half-ass things...? Stupid...
3. While you think it's cool to coast and not work hard, there is some kid out there (with probably less talent than you and a much bigger H.E.A.R.T) working his/her ass off to make you look like the lazy bastard you were all off-season.
4. This shirt was made for a professional football player. What a great item to make for the youth to want to wear and emulate. Do you really want your kid looking up to a Pro who endorses this type of sentiment? Is this what you want your kid to strive for?
5. This shirt should now piss you off.
