I think they are all being very mature for their age. Yes, they are tweeting and removing UD references from their social media. However almost all of them have publicly stated their intent to wait and see. Gather more information and make a choice.

In the meantime they are all part of the Flyer Family. Part of what they were sold on was a great fan base. Let's live up to our end of the bargain and show them the support they need right now. And no - that doesn't mean you should tweet them or attempt to contact them in any way. But we can start by treating them like the family they are instead of assuming they are all leaving.

If any of them decide to leave - I would hope we all show them respect when the time comes.
No they are not kids, we don't send kids to defend our country. Adolescents are young adults maturing from kids to be more adult like. At age 18 they can sign binding agreements, vote etc.

Perhaps that is one of the problems we have with society is coddling our adolescents instead of preparing them for the future world as an adult.

Today we have kids and adults, with the important period of maturity missing. Lets put adolescents back in society where it belongs, intermediary to adulthood.
