"You guys are all gonna have your opinion and Im never gonna take any of it personal. Like I said, it doesnt matter. Yall can have an opinion, yall can say this and that, but at the end of the day our lives arent gonna change. If I say something to yall right now, the same things gonna happen."It doesnt really affect life, it doesnt really affect the way we live. So, if you look at it from that perspective, the bigger perspective, no matter what anybody says, it doesnt matter at the end of the day. It has zero meaning to me, to anybody. God controls everything that happens in this world. I just let people be and let them speak."TAYLOR SWIFT REVEALS SHE SCREAMED ABOUT CHIEFS DRAFTING XAVIER WORTHY AFTER SHE BECAME FOOTBALL 'OBSESSED'Fields said he picked up the mindset over the last six months.
