Royce:MUH ANXIETY!



I don't doubt that anxiety is a real mental illness and that people struggle with it, Royce is just making it look like a joke and creating the stigma that everyone with it is difficult to work with

You really think he is that stupid...use some common sense.

This isn't about you and you wanting to watch him play basketball. He's said many times before that basketball is not the most important thing in his life. Perhaps then, like you said, he is in it for the money and attention, but this is using it as a means to an end, which is not nearly as bad as you make it sound. He wants to use the money and attention to help his causes.

Wow, you just embarrassed yourself and told us little about yourself at the same time.

Some of you need to lay off RW. It's his life. If he doesn't want to play in the NBA, that's his decision. He's possibly walking away from the NBA. Life will go on for Royce, ISU fans, and the Rockets.

I won't deny that is a bit of a low blow, but that is sure what the reaction between Royce and the Rockets looks like from the outside.

The only thing about this whole situation that I know without a doubt is, this will not reflect negatively on Iowa State or Fred Hoiberg. If anything it will put them in a positive light in how they met the problem head on and dealt with it in a way that was positive for the school, team, coaches, fans and Royce White.

You must love being able to hide behind your computer and not having to take responsibility for what you say. No wonder cyber bullying is such a huge problem.:no:

u serious? You know how much they travel? No way this works.

Royce is about the worst possible mental illness advocate you could ever imagine at this point.

You mean with their luxury charter buses for all games in the US. Yep, no way that could work out if it became a real option. Maybe you should read the article first.

Plus he would never have anxiety about possibly losing games.
