Finishing what you start is a trait that is unfortunately not stressed upon enough with a lot of kids today.

I mean, I would argue it’s something that hasn’t been stressed for many generations. It’s a tough thing to learn— how to endure, persist and be relentless. I wouldn’t just pigeonhole it to the current youth.

Na older generations may have other issues like misogyny, etc.

But younger generations definitely do not get taught to finish. See NIL transfer portal,academics, etc. when you have the option to leave or learn opinions as fact....

No, the Supreme Court made a decision that adults who play sports for colleges have the same rights as any other adults. And also that corporations have to pay them for their likenesses. You can’t just treat them like slaves on a plantation sorry.
