Terry comes off as someone who used to be a celebrity in college, didn't quite do much in the NFL and washed out quickly, and has still not come to grips with the fact that he's not the king that he once was. The place where he would still receive the attention he seems to seek, did not bend over backwards to cater to his sons needs (although I would say allowing him to be a walk-on is more than most programs would do), and he became personally offended. His being offended, quickly turned into victimhood. Victimhood, in some circles of society today, is currency, so if you can show you've been victimized the most, you carry the most clout. Many people called him out for not being a man of honor and going to the HC about the issue, instead of running to post on social media so that he could once again, gain the attention he seeks. As the story continued to fall apart, and Dabo, as well as witnesses, came out to refute his story, he faced the crucial junction of whether to admit it was overblown, or to double down. Terry decided that his pride could not allow him to admit that he overreacted and that he may have received bad information from his son, so he decided to release more statements, and then eventually, this video. In the end, Terry is getting what he wants, which is more attention for Terry, but I don't think he has reflected on what the costs of that attention will be.
