Oye, that was a tough read. Trying to get 10k to tell his story:
Colt Lyerla starts GoFundMe
"The Internet will only show you one perspective of what happened throughout the life of Colt Lyerla: its own. It will give you the opinions of bitters sports writers, it will show you the biased perspectives of people that have most likely never played sports at a collegiate level or at all for that matter, and it will do a great job of making you believe that Colt is nothing but a villain, thug, criminal or just a bad person in general. Anyone that watches the news or reads the paper knows that drama and negativity are what sells."
"On the flip side, just because a 19 year old was caught with a baggie that had coke residue in it while on a college campus - doesn't make him a terrorist."
"All of that combined with a home-life filled with the definition of instability, constant abandonment, emotional turmoil, and basically daily exposure to examples of what "not to do" - is nothing but a recipe for a saga of negative headlines for people to judge and gawk at."
"We are raising money to write and film a documentary that will dive deep into the world of athletic spotlight, recruiting, corrupt journalism, collegiate athletics, addiction, social media, depression, The NFL, and society."
