Agreed. I do think Rittenhouse is being "marketed", however.
Hopefully he won't end up like the very young stars everyone grew up with. They were promoted, marketed, feted, fawned over, etc. . . . then, when no longer useful and profitable to their managers/handlers, they were tossed aside. Many ended up dead, in jail, fighting various addictions, and/or generally very unhappy.
Rittenhouse has a large voice right now, due to the circumstances. I think that there are many who would like to harness that voice to spread their own info/mis-info. He’s young enough that he may not have the experience or knowledge to see past the attempts.
Rittenhouse will fade quickly. There are going to be bigger things at the forefront of people’s minds here real soon. I have a Twitter thread 112 tweets long of athletes dropping. Mostof those tweets are single articles, but there are 25 having 2 or 3 entries. They are mostly soccer players in Europe and some are very high profile. Europe is a couple-three of months ahead of us in the vax dept. I’m guessing NFL playoff time or College Football playoff/bowl time we might see boys dropping. Thankfully the college and high school seasons are mostly over this weekend. The NFL or NBA is where we are likely to see tragedy strike on world wide television. Lets pray I’m wrong.
