If he were a bloke on the street I wouldn't give him a 2nd glance but he isn't, he's a well paid professional sportsman who isn't doing what he's paid to do as he eats too much. I'd love it ot not be a topic for discussion and he was in good shape and playing well, but he isn't and we're relying on him doing it for next season which seems unlikely. He's been dropped due to being out of condition . It's unacceptable for a professional sportsman
What does going on about it really achieve though? For Myler/Cartwright/Grix/Pearson or whoever has decided to sign him either think his weight is not a problem or they believe he’ll be able to do something about it. You’ll maybe be right, but nothing we can do about it, for me we should just get behind him.
FWIW I’m not saying you are wrong, and this is a supporters forum that you’d have to go out your way to look at and if players did look they should be prepared for constructive criticism, a players fitness and condition should be allowed to be discussed.
Social media is another kettle of fish though. With the algorithm’s and such players and their families are going to see these comments even if they don’t go out their way. I agree with Cam Scott, I don’t think Hull are the only club but some of the comments you see on Facebook are disgraceful and just not needed. Sad losers who I can only assume it makes them feel better about their own worthless lives.
