Who cares. I believed in some pretty stupid stuff when I was in high school, and no one called me ungrateful, entitled, or spoiled.
In high school I always wanted to be #7, got it fr. Year but not soph or jr. Happy I got it as a senior though, brad banks was the reason I fell in love with that number and I seriously believe it's a lucky number. Many great football players have and are 7. Elway, banks, Rothlesburger (sp?), Vick, McNutt. Just to name a few.
A favorite number does matter.
We treat players like Gods, and then become surprised when they start to act like Gods. Why?
