The hype surrounding this young punk has been withering. He basically hijacked an entire league(MLS) and now that his team DC United is out of the playoffs people are finally beginning to reconsider what all the fuss was about. I for one am sick and tired of the media hyping very young black boy athletes and this was the case with Adu who is now we are told is 16. Not that I ever believed his age but hyping young black kids reinforces the idea that white men are being emasculated(castrated) by the media. Adu had the nerve to start whining about playing time--to the point where his coach basically told him to stuff it. Good for the coach. It is time to give sports back to men. Not cry baby little punks that the media coddled to the point of no return.
