How is stating the obvious degrading? Let me ask you, and be honest, have you ever been fired or lost a good paying job that you liked? You don't have to post your answer but think back, did you act like that to the public? Yeah ya might have cried to your wife or best friend but I really doubt you acted like Fitz, I mean be honest he was all but asking if he could call his Grandmother like another player we had.
I mean talk about "white privilege", the dude makes what 8 million a year, and oh by the way no he didn't get fired, he is still getting paid. He got demoted, and I know that doesn't feel good but what he did was make it harder to move forward for everyone involved, when he didn't have to. If he took two seconds to realize there are millions of people who have actually LOST their job during this pandemic and are waiting 6 plus hrs in food lines just to survive he might think twice before making such an insensitive statement.
Look I like Fitz but he knew this was coming, had been told to expect it, knew it wouldn't feel good when it happened, but every player at every level has went through the same thing. Even the high school player who loves the game with all his soul but doesn't have the talent to go to the next level felt the same thing. Fitz had two ways to play this, and like it or not he chose the wrong way. Tua has enough on his plate that he shouldn't have to worry about what Fitz is dealing with. Believe me the day will come in what will seem like a blink of the eye when Tua will be exactly where Fitz is, and I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that he handles it better.
