cut it anyway you want...people don't have to see things your way. that is just the way things are. I does NOT matter if they have informed opinions or not,
However, If someone were to asking me if I would want Russell Wilson, I would not hesitate to swap Russell for Jared and I would do it before you could blink an eye.
BUT people can think the way they want...without being goaded, like how you finished your response, "Cmon you know better man".
