Phoenix Suns owner: Millennials cant handle adversity

[The War Report]

i don't think millennials handle adversity well as we were the "you're special/you can do anything" generation, i think many of us grew up with a false sense of entitlement and a focus on "do whatever makes you happy" (i'm guilty of this as i quit jobs like it's nothing)...add to the fact we're also a boomerang generation that has delayed traditional adult milestones (home ownership, marriage, kids) it's easier for us to run away from challenges and adversity as opposed to facing it head on.

You must be talking about Baby Boomers.

Most millennials are getting duct taped and raped. I am not trying to be the same.

In fairness to Markeiff, him and his brother did sign a long term contract for less money than they were worth to be with us each other on the same team, and the suns knew that. They then trade Marcus a year later, so if thats true, I would be pissed too. (Markieff making 8 mill a year, marcus 5 mill)

Suns agree to unique deal with Morris twins

The minute a player jumps ships for more dollars, 98% of the coli applauds him because "He's getting paid", "He's taking care of himself and his family" and, the über-argument, "It's a business". So if it's "a business", they should've approached it as such and have all these "promises" of playing together in whatever contract they agreed to sign. They didn't, move on, be a "businessman" and work on your value because ain't no one gonna give you a better opportunity if you're crying on the bench because you can't play without your brother.

It's not a good look for the Suns either, but the franchise will get over this regardless, while he should be worried about getting his career back on track.

This generation has its fault yes but older generations all they do is complain and worry about us.Not every millennial is the same

The thing is, When I here older people Shyt on millineals I don't buy it.

We are facing shyt they never had to face.

Wages are stagnate yet the cost of living for EVERYTHING has risen.

It was possible back then to get a factory job out of HS, buy a house, a car, raise family and have saving.

People would work their way through college with part time jobs back then.

WE don't have that luxury.

College is over expensive and seems pointless yet the loans are real.

This dude Grew up RICH anyway Fukk him....

So he's to blame for this nikka acting like a woman.


That nikka is a bytch. Point blank period.

He's not to blame, but the Morris twins and a lot of twins out there have a bond beyond comprehension. We're talking about 2 dudes that wear the same clothes, drive the same car, share a bank account, have the same tattoos, took all the same classes, woke up at the same time every day, ate the same things every day, etc..

If you can't figure out that sending one to Detroit and keeping the other one in Phoenix isn't going to go well, well I guess that explains why Sarver went to Arizona and not Harvard.

Forreal though. Older people judge all the time and pretend that housing wasn't cheap af when they grew up. They pretend that they couldn't get a good job with a high school degree whereas now you need a masters for pretty much anything.

They be like "I worked and paid my way through college".. When college was like 2 months salary for them, whereas it's a full year or two's worth now-a-days with excessive interest rates.

each generation had its adversity, ours is financial, my grandparent's it was financial (great depression) racism and war, my parents it was war racism...how you respond is what he was talking about and IMO, i don't think millennials respond well to adversity for the reasons previously stated. a lot of it has to do with being children during the good times of the 90's, that led to adults raising us a certain way which, IMO, embedded a sense of entitlement and feelings of being more special than we are. my parents (and their generation) were not concerned about doing what they love or being happy (not that that's right) their asses got jobs, got married, had kids, and handled business. you got nikkas depressed because they make 40k and see their friend on FB making 80k taking trips to thailand and having more fun on saturday night...gtfoh. we're softer, it is what it is there's a reason we're the most medicated generation in history
