Have you seen the video of the "sermon"? I use quotation... by Cavanaugh82

marks because the portion of the video that I saw was a young man testifying about his experiences and struggles with his sexuality, gender identity, addictions to drugs, alcohol and pornography and how he felt that finding Jesus/God had saved him.

The place where I saw the parts of the video was defending Korbin so it very well might have been edited just to show a part that was most beneficial to her. It was not anti-LGBTQ, it was pro-Jesus.

Social media, unfortunately, is one of the critical determinants of an athlete's commercial potential including NIL valuation. The Cavinder twins and Olivia Dunne are just a few examples of athletes with commercial value far exceeding their athletic accomplishments due entirely to social media so it is understandable why advisers and agents would encourage them to participate but it's also such a minefield that you would think/hope that they would get education and training of how to navigate them successfully. At the very least they should be monitored in order to catch those activities that they might want to remove.

Korbin is not yet at the superstar level that would generate the kind of agency commissions that would support individualized monitors. Still, it seems like she should have gotten better advice here and, ultimately, it was her decision to post what she did so the accountability is with her.
