...student-athletes are overlooked far too often. The crucial issue is that there exists little to no dialogue between the College administration and undergraduate athletes. This problem is exacerbated by athletes’ detachment from the traditional means of student advocacy.

The closest thing there is to conflict here is a shot of him rolling past a scowling group of thugs. The only woman featured in the video isn’t a stripper plying her trade, but rather his skateboarding girlfriend, fulfilling a different sort of adolescent fantasy. Though the video isn’t particularly memorable...
