GTFO!! LMFAO. You are saying most kids in the hood know who Robert Smith is? You must be the Randy Shannon type to get this offended about facts.
Want to know how I know? Because I actually grew up in one of the worst PJs in America. Polo Grounds in the 90s and 00s. When it was the Murder Capital. I still be in the hood on a regular basis. I talk to the kids, I know how the majority think. They think guys like Randy are sell outs. I visit my cousins in Chicago, Philly, Jersey, Atl, New Orleans. Every hood I been to the majority think the same way. They are kids.
Guess what, white kids think the same way. Don't try to make this racist, but last time I checked we aren't trying to pull tons of white kids out of Broward so thats why I didn't bring them up. Go to an 18 year old white football player in rural georgia and ask him if he would rather be Einstein or Dan Bilzerian. Eveyone is going to pick Bilzerian.
You don't know tf you are talking about. Very few kids actually respect the nerdy types like Randy that pulled themselves up from the boot straps. They like the guys like Willie that act like them and don't try to preach to them about BS.
If willie doesn't put it on the field, kids won't give af about how "cool" he is, but that was why he was recruiting well before.
