The_Admiral Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 27 minutes ago, SFGiants58 said: The post-GamerGate attitude towards “the nerds” helped create this. Deadspin tried to find inspiration in “the athletes,” only to find that they’re the epitome of broken clocks. Right on some key issues, but absolutely loopy crackpots on most other things. Also, they forgot the massive amount of brain damage among NFL players. A great point that Freddie deBoer made is that it's not the people at the top who enforce the social order but the people who are second from the top. That's how you get the bright young faces of Stuyvesant High School and Skidmore College tweeting "uh bullying is awesome and works" at nerds while the jocks themselves are just listening to Joe Rogan podcasts.

dont care Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 9 hours ago, 8BW14 said: Part of me wants to defend Aaron Rodgers for not getting vaccinated because obviously the guys is very intelligent and it didn’t make his decision to forgo the vaccine lightly and he’s not obligated to let anyone, let alone the media know his vaccine status. He knew that if it came out that he hadn’t been vaccinated, there would be a :censored:storm like the one we are currently witnessing. On the other hand, rules is rules, even if they’re not particularly logical. On the other-other hand, I’ve never liked Rodgers. I’ve always thought he was selfish and thought of himself as being smarter than everyone else he was dealing with. The way he has navigated this whole debacles kinda embarrassing for him and just confirms for me that he is an ass. To me, the issue isn’t whether he chose to be vaccinated or not, the issue is that it’s been handled poorly by Rodgers and the Packers and apparently the NFL. They would have known he hadn’t been vaccinated and was violating their COVID protocols on a daily basis. Aaron Rodgers isn’t intelligent. He is arrogant and thinks he’s the smartest guy in any room which gives off the perception of being intelligent. The reality is that he is just a dumb as any other football player, he just has the benefit of being a white quarterback which the general public have been told for 100 years are the smartest leaders in all sports, when in reality that only applies on the field. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE WENT TO JOE FXCKIGN ROGAN FOR HEALTHCARE ADVICE If this truly is "mind games" on Rodgers' part, he's taking a fat L for it. Public perception completely destroyed, teammates and peers in the league turning on him, companies dropping him as their spokesman, the list goes on.. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 What about the fact that he, for all intents and purposes, lied to everyone and the Packers kind of covered it up for him? Yeah, that's something to think about. Now, while it does rob the nation of a battle between Rodgers and Mahomes.. there is a silver lining here: Jordan Love gets his first start in the NFL against Mahomes and at a very, very loud Arrowhead. This is a chance to see if he is indeed the QB of the future there or if they may have to beg for Mr. 'Big Brain' on the bench to stay another year. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I just found out that Aaron Rodgers's girlfriend drinks liquid clay to "remove toxins." I'm sure they have interesting conversations at the dinner table, dinners in which at least one of them drinks clay. 10 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've enjoyed his videos, but I think it's clear from his opinions on the Washington Football Team's renaming (in his video on Dan Snyder he says both sides are wrong, if I remember correctly) that he considers himself an "enlightened centrist". He doesn't take a side because being passionate about something is for losers. 5 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
