I'm starting to feel the same thing already. Seems like he's trying to sell me some protein powder or something. Or doing press for his new self help book

 But I don't listen to press conferences elsewhere so maybe they are are all just talking because the press and public expect it.

 Got it. I wish you’d have let that pass. Quoted that out of all of it. I guess it is you are 21, an adult in the eyes of the law. Cut and dried.  

Words aside, mentally mature doesn’t always go with physically mature. At the same time some of our players are not physically mature either, even though they are legally adults. So 22, 23? When the hell is it that you are an adult? I don’t know how to keep arguing it or why I would really. 

Let me try again: it is alleged that (many of) today’s players are weak minded spoiled/entitled people that still behave like children into their early to mid 20s. LOL That’s rough when I re-read it but is a mashup of characterizations I have seen floating around the internet in recent memory. 

Which I don’t interact with these people to even know, but I see a lot of talk about “modern” athletes that echo a sentiment similar to the one exhibited in Canales’ statement.  I was lamenting that he has to play those games in the first place. Obviously he thinks he does or why go there?  I hope that’s a better expression of my reaction to that part of his press conference statements.
