FAME….
Many of us want it, but when we get it, sometimes we can’t handle it. There have been many 1st round wide receivers drafted in the NFL, but not many if any had fame thrust upon them like Odell Beckham Jr.
He is a crossover star, the type that Kardashians like to be seen with and weird op-ed pieces about why he didn’t pay attention to a woman at a gala are written about.
That spotlight is BRIGHT and it is choking the life out of Beckham.

Football is a sport and it is supposed to be fun, but Beckham can’t seem to keep his emotions in check for a full four quarters any more.
He thinks everyone is against him and because of that he lashes out at opponents, refs, teammates and kicking nets.
He could be just going through a rough patch or it is entirely possibly the fame just breaks him and he could walk away from the game a little sooner than people think.
