My point is this- knowing you're a star athlete in today's culture, you need to take every precaution to avoid standing out as a target. He's a fool for acting this way, even though he has every right to do so.

AND, I would like to add,
as you point out, he has every right to do so. This is America, and philosophically, we have the freedom to go anywhere, and do anything we want within the law.
In reality, it might cost you...................it cost him.
With the things that are going on with athletes today, common sense must enter into the picture, or it might cost you......it cost him.
