If you're frustrated at Andrew Luck retiring, don't be like moron Doug Gottlieb. This radio host whose sport is basketball wouldn't understand the pain someone goes through. Instead he called it a millennial thing of not wanting to rehab in a tweet on Twitter. It's obvious he doesn't get the four years of hell Luck has gone through. And a lot of people ripped into him.
Gottlieb has a criminal record of credit card fraud. This was brought up by receiver Torrey Smith, mocking what the FS1 host said about it being too hard. Fellow colleague Troy Aikman, whose career ended with a bad concussion in 2000, ripped into him. Bo Jackson, who had a career ending hip injury in the 1990 playoffs, was not kind to Gottlieb. Various athletes and sports broadcasters have been vocal about the tweet and it has been met with very negative responses.
There were questions about whether Luck would even throw again in the NFL following his torn labrum injury that made him miss the entire 2017 season. A lot of guys have chances, but he will join the list of players who had careers cut short because of injury. Give him credit for wanting to play through pain, but the toll it has on him. That's something a guy like Gottlieb wouldn't understand. A lot of us don't know what goes on behind the scenes. To jump to that conclusion that he had is a joke, and it makes one sport only broadcasters look really stupid.
Idiots like Gottlieb will keep being themselves and saying whatever comes out of their mouths. Sometimes, I do question ex-athletes intelligence.
