Roundtable: Is the Media Hurting Young Athletes, Tyler Lydon’s Future?

Related Topics: Athlete, Social media, Mass media

Our question this week is a rather different one than we’ve done in weeks past. We will be discussing whether the media has had a real negative effect on recruits and young college athletes futures, like Tyler Lydon. Since Inside The Loud House is part of the media, we do our best to answer with as little bias as possible. So without further ado, here’su200b what we asked our contributors:

Q: Do you think the media (in all its platforms) is hurting/negatively impacting recruits (high schoolers) and young college athletes and their future? Additionally, do you think it’su200b true that the hype the media creates around players leads to unrealistic goals and high expectations they can’t fulfill, and hence, negative fan feedback?
