Liberal deep-thinking ...
The health concern makes perfect sense to me.
Chomsky? Not so much.
He read that book by Chomsky about some guy named Galt.
Now what John? That's right - go get yourself a real job. Good luck with all that.
Wow, the Dalai Lama couldn’t be more philosophically different than Chomsky.
I can respect that. Even if the realization came from reading Dr Seuss, which is not far from Chomsky.
well, sports due seem to dull us and keep us simply minded no doubt...we're not about buying pro tickets to anything but we do enjoy our local small college basketball, and watching on tv....
you have to have some diversions in this world...
I think there was another reason he quit the team.......and he just doesn’t want to say.
>>The prolific author, media critic and liberal activist and commentator is quoted in his 1992 book “Manufacturing Consent” saying that sports are part of a propagandist “indoctrination system” meant to distract “Joe Six Pack” from “things that matter.”
Every now and then, a liberal gets something right.
A sure sign that he's already suffering neurological damage.
Sounds like this guy doesn’t want to serve his country anymore as a football hero... I wonder what Al Bundy would have to say about this?
Denver Broncos? Rocky Mountain high? Legalized marijuana?
Sort of like a "stand up philosopher":
If the guy had just said, “I’ve made enough money, I’m burned out on the game, I’m tired of getting banged up every Sunday, and it’s time for me to move on because there are more important things than football,” we would have all complimented him on his maturity. But he had to go Chomsky on us .... which turns his decision to quit into an indictment of the game that has made him rich.
It’s not like he doesn’t have a million or so to help him find a new job, but his mention of Chomsky kind of tells me he is a nut case.
more importantly, who has beaten the Broncos thisvyesr?
Seattle and Chomsky go together like flies and a big 'ol steaming horse pie.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Does anyone remember Chip Glass of the ST. Louis football Cardinals doing the same thing but because of the hippie ethos, not Noam Chomansky?
Well, I can sympathize. I wouldn’t necessarily quit an extremely remunerative job, but reading Chomsky for any length of time will depress you so much you’ll be reaching for razor blades to slash your wrists.
I have never understood why these players don’t just play for a couple years and if they saved any of their bounty don’t just retire or start a business. I guess saving their bounty is the key here. Guys that play over 10 years and take that beating are just conceited in my opinion.
