So if we aren't a current or former d1 athlete, we can't be on a message board? Sounds like what Lambert-Smith was chastising fans about on Twitter.
That's generally the attitude of the posters who like to throw that in their posts with random handles and no verification of who they are and what they did.
"I played D1. My opinion means more than yours." Is the general sentiment it gives off. Yes, no difference between KLS or a random doing it here.
My confusion is why you quoted the person who mocked the OP instead of the OP, particularly based upon your comment.
