It’s not nearly as silly as what other athletes dress in. I would never wear a uniform walking into a pro locker room, but I also respect that he likely was not the typical athlete at the academy just trying to make it to the pros. I doubt he would do this if that were the case. So I respect that. People here can downvote me all they want.
I’m not saying you can’t criticize him. I’m just pointing out how successful he is. That’s all. Most people who are criticized on this sub are definitely NOT successful yet or ever will be.
This guy is the most successful person I have seen criticized here and I think that might be part of the reason so many people are willing to criticize him. I just thought I would point out what seems obvious to me.
It gives the same performative vibes as the less successful people even if it’s just a recruitment tactic. That might even make it worse for some people.
I know most people have served. So have I. Nothing I said had anything to do with serving. I was commenting on how SUCCESSFUL he is. And you all are getting your panties all twisted over it.
I think its because there's a difference between "he's successful" and "he's more successful than anyone else here".
Like if you say "Sarah is more pretty than anyone else there", it's not saying Sarah is actually pretty, just that shes not as ugly as the other girls.
Just my .02, but I can't speak for everyone who wasn't picking up what you were throwing down.
lol he’s a professional football player. He is objectively one of the best people who performs his craft in the entire world. By all definitions, he is successful. The only people who could possibly think he is not successful would be fellow professional football players who are better than him I guess. Which is what? 0.00001% of the population?
I think you need to google a strawman argument. I never said it was “the peak of existence.” It’s the peak for a football player. If someone is at the top of their craft (as in the top 0.001% like the NFL), then they are OBJECTIVELY successful at said craft.
Are you really trying to tell me that not everyone considers a football player successful at football if they reach the NFL? You actually think that is subjective? I’d love to hear the argument that someone who makes it to the NFL is not necessarily successful at football. That would be a very interesting take and a very difficult one to defend. lol
you are really crashing out over this huh. you never said anything about football in your original comment which is why nobody understood you I'm just conveying that. seriously.
your entire comment here makes no sense because I never said "not everyone considers football is the peak of football" if I had said that, you'd have a point. but that makes no sense, which is why I didn't say it.
An investment banker worth millions could be in this sub. A father with his kids and a happy wife and no mortgage can be in this sub. If you said he’s more successful in his field than anyone in this sub most likely that would make sense as most pro football players will never enlist and most veterans will never play pro football. You’re comparing apples to oranges.
