For some people, it's just easier to see things as good or bad and never question why that is.

Clarett had a lot of things working against him, but in my opinion the biggest is that he was a gifted athlete. This afforded him the luxury of skating through school and most likely never having to do things for himself or take responsibility for his actions. There are many star athletes who experience the same thing all the time. Clarett was a star, got whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted it, and when his actions were finally too much to overlook, he got hit with disciplinary action. Based on how he's acted since then to screw up his chance at a professional career, I'd say it's a pretty good bet that he's suffering from a serious case of entitlement.
