Anybody else tired of shaquem Giffen hoging the media spot light he is 5 rounder.. He had a birth affect I get that but to me he is equal to anybody else
Well, that would be true if he invited himself to all of these interviews. His is a story unique to otherwise "whole' athletes, and offers a kind of underdog to victor storyline. The networks are exploiting this because in a sea of "bad' news these stories stand out, often tugging at our better selves to lock in to see how they turn out. Very few if any, will want to see this young man fail, we'll all be pulling for him in small part because of his birth defect, but on a greater level because there a human being attached to it who comes off as likeable. Sure he could decline these interviews, but why? Even if he's also taking advantage of the moment, isn't there a greater message to every other person in similar situations?
