I feel real greedy when the food falls off the fork right before my mouth opens. Like a real big back

A Loud 'Whisper'

I do not know Dujuan Richards. I have never met him. I have never sat in a room with him, never kicked a ball with him. I have seen him play footballer live and on TV and he is an amazing football talent, perhaps the best we have had in a long time. So this is not about defending a friend. This is about us, Jamaicans.

A 20 year old Jamaican boy came out of Port Royal and Kingston College, scored over 30 goals in a Manning Cup season, made his senior debut for Jamaica at 17, and became the youngest Gold Cup goalscorer we have ever had. Chelsea signed him. Then a serious knee injury took a big chunk of his development. He got a few minutes at Leicester. Now he is going to AFC Wimbledon on loan to play football. That is the story. Not a fall from grace. A young man still trying to find regular senior minutes.

And yet as soon as the announcement video dropped, the same old soundtrack started. Him shame. Him nuh look happy. Him think him better than him is. Career rocky. Boy look vex. We took a reserved face in a stadium shoot and turned it into a character assassination.

Look in the mirror and ask yourself why. Because this is not new. We did versions of this with Leon Bailey for years. Lift him when he scores, bury him when he has a quiet night or a quiet camp. We do it with young players the minute the path is not straight up. Injury, loan, League One, a face that is not smiling wide enough for Instagram. Suddenly the same people who posted “this is our future” are in the comments trying to humble a youth they have never coached, never paid, and never had to walk that road with.

Ask yourself what you are actually doing. Are you analysing the player, or are you discharging something else? The World Cup miss still sits heavy. High hopes sit heavy. Seeing a Jamaican name at Chelsea and then seeing him at Wimbledon feels like a comedown, so we punish the boy for not arriving on our timetable. That is not standards. That is disappointment looking for a target.

He is 20. Plenty of players who later made it spent years on loan, in League One, in the Championship, getting minutes, getting stronger, getting used to men’s football. A loan is not a funeral. A serious face in a promo is not proof of arrogance. Quiet is not the same thing as ungrateful.

I want him to do well. We should all want him to do well. Not because he is perfect. Because when one of ours finds his feet, it opens the door a little wider for the next KC boy, the next Phoenix All Stars boy, the next youth who thinks Europe is only a rumour. When the tide rises, all the ships sail.

If you have real football criticism, say it like an adult. Minutes, movement, finishing, work rate, that is fair. Mocking a 20 year old’s face because he did not perform joy on command is cheap. It costs you nothing and it can cost him confidence at the exact moment he needs to go and earn a living in a new dressing room.

Leave the youth. Let him work. If he scores, celebrate. If he struggles, let him fight through it without a whole country sitting in the comments waiting to say we told you so. We keep saying we want Jamaican players to succeed. Then act like it.

Speaking for myself. It was fun because it wasn’t for work/profit then , barely an audience and I didn’t have MY own standards to live up to. The novelty was kinda a shield ngl.

[MATT CAMPS ⛺️🇯🇲 @Matt_Camps]

Idk who needs to hear this but especially as a 'creative', don't you remember when you used to do so much more and create even if it sucked but you were so proud of it? So why at this stage do we let perfection get in the way of creating when that's what we fell in love with?

[waZ @DXLIV_]

Saw what this response was about. Retweeted in the general sense. Do not agree with what was said initially and how it was handled before the apology.

Perfect example.

[MATT CAMPS ⛺️🇯🇲 @Matt_Camps]

@Russtaffari I think it's okay to be reactionary then sit with your thoughts and realize you fucked up. People are not perfect.
