Also, I don’t see anyone blaming the media, it’s more so this money-grabbing culture as a whole in society that’s the issue and creating the unobtainable. I said they were knocking him down, which they are after they absolutely blew smoke up his arse across the entire Euros.
The media did absolutely make him have a shit load of hype that he didn’t have prior to the Euros by positioning him the way they did and having him feature the way that they have. He also knew it would happen hence his eagerness to make it in the Euros, he knew it would make in his career in terms of helping to shape a move, help negotiate a better contract, cause sponsorships to roll right in.
And what we all need to remember is said this coverage was post lockdown 2020 after his biggest fuck up at the time.
Annnnd it was….
Post Tenerife all those years ago.
Post shit driving ban and fine after fine.
Post binging episode after the playoffs.
Post story in the hotel
They know exactly what they are doing with Jack. He is typical tabloid fodder. He’s young, rich, good looking and doesn’t know how to act and more importantly he sells papers and gives the clicks keeping them all in these kinds jobs.
I’m not excusing him, I’m just calling it as I see it and it’s the same old, same old. He isn’t the first, he won’t be the last but how many more commentators who cannot relate as they haven’t really ever been in his position are going to continually and personally insult him. You’re telling me if they were in his shoes they wouldn’t fuck about? Half of these people commenting didn’t have his talent and certainly weren’t earning the type of money he does.
Things like TalkSPORT are just as bad as the Sun and Daily Mail. They thrive on baiting fans to call in and get them money.
