“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously—after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth.”
Robert Heinlein
I agree with RH. I also think it’s girly for a man to want to own some athlete’s used helmet or wear an overpriced sweatshirt with another man’s name and number on it.
The funny part about that quote is that when you get right down to it Heinlein was an entertainer.
