An absolute mockery and perversion to those who have scrimped and saved over the years from an honest living in my book, but perhaps I’m old fashioned.
NFL is an accepted outlet for a lot of gay crush behavior.
Why do you begrudge someone else getting what they are worth on the open market? Russell Wilson possesses a skill that very few people have, and there is a value to that skill. Why should he not get paid for it? You may not think that skill is worth that kind of money, but given the revenue that NFL teams pull in, obviously it is
I consider myself old fashioned but I don't see it the same way you do. An NFL team would not offer that kind of money to a player if they weren't sure he would sell a lot of tickets for them and get them deep into the playoffs each year (where there is enormous revenue opportunity for an NFL team).
Scrimping and saving while making an honest living is indeed honorable but it silly to presume that we are somehow dishonored because a few highly skilled athletes can go out there and make millions.
I say good for them. But I was hoping the NFL would take a financial hit for their overall "woke" behavior and their disrespect of our flag, our anthem and such. I thought maybe a lot of us patriots would turn the football off and do something else with our time. But I guess I was wrong. Many people have decided to watch their football in spite of all that and it is because of them that NFL teams can continue to pay out those kind of salaries.
