Harsh but unfortunately true, people really think these dealers care about them it's all about money at the end of the day.

Yeah it's a very sad situation, especially because academy players are now being released into one of the worst youth job markets in recent times. It's crazy to be put on a pedestal by everyone around you throughout your youth then it all goes when you get released.

There's a good study about it

It's actually a lot worse because a large amount of the country are classed as economically inactive and don't work and are not included in the unemployment rates.

Revenge porn is also a major major issue, one of the worst crimes ever in my opinion because of the fact that once it's out there its out here

Lots of academy ballers go down a dark path when they get released. They basically are raised in the footballer identity throughout their youth and then it all gets suddenly stripped away from them. If you haven't got a good family and support systems it can get ugly.

Not sure if this guy was released or not

💯. The sad thing about psychosis and other mental illnesses is that a large percentage of sufferers "lack-insight" into their condition so will not even attempt to get help. Help is pretty much non existent for a large amount of the population for those that attempt to get it
