Not too fussed by this but can see why people could get a gripe up about it.

I do however, find it funny when fans comment on newspaper articles on Facebook telling the story players to stop talking to the press, as if they don’t have media obligations.

That could be levelled at teens and 20-somethings in general tbh. I always thought the younger generation was supposed to listen to music that scared their parents. The stuff millenials listen to is so bland, manufactured and soppy it's unreal.

Also long gone are the days of footballers who drank, smoked, gambled, womanised and still turned in magic performances on a Saturday. Now replaced by wannabe celebrities who sing and dance about 'beans' and other such shite.
 

 
To flip this on its head, a lot of folk would have a meltdown if they found out our players smoked, excessively drank etc when there is so much emphasis of being in peak physical condition. We can’t demand players to be machine like athletes then complain they lack personality and don’t live a ‘typical’ lifestyle.

It’s a different age when those things were accepted as sports science was less development and it was just what players did. As a professional you’d be left behind if you lived that lifestyle these days.

A lot of millennials are in their mid 30s so were teens in the 90s when there was a massive alternative scene that was hugely popular with teens. Punk, metal, industrial, rave, alt rock etc were massive scenes so don't agree with you there. Unless like many people you mean today's kids when you say millenials
