A…B…C! Easy as C…T…E…!!
The US certainly fucked up the handling of it but not even close to creating it.
That’s because some folks think you can pray it away…
Even more sinister, they let it willingly spread because it disproportionally affected the Gayz.
Who?
A very successful, aging NFL Quarterback. He hasn’t played much the last couple of years due to injury and getting old. He’s been outspoken about various far right and conspiracy theories while not playing by appearing on podcasts and radio shows.
A lot of people wish he would just shut up and retire at this point. But you know he’s going to milk his platform as long as he can.
US government.
One wonders… is it the CTE’s or was he always just dumb?
He’s always had agents and publicists filtering what he says publicly. I think this is just unfiltered Rodgers.
99.999% of the time to be a NFL starter you’ve been the best player in the field at least at your position up till you were drafted into the NFL.
It’s just how the numbers work out, exceptions are noteworthy because they’re exceptional.
It doesn’t make you dumb, but because education and football are so intertwined, if you don’t care about education no one is going to try and make you.
Then if you keep your mouth shut in public till you sign a big contract, no one knows how dumb you are and it feels like it comes out of nowhere
I forget his name, but a recent NFL player legitimately believes he’s part solar powered reptilian and that’s why he’s a pro athlete
Had to Google it but: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammy_Watkins
Notable that he’s acknowledged his mental health and addiction struggles since making the flat earth and lizard person comments.
Looks like it was right around when he got out of the NFL.
That’s kind of my point, an athlete of that level can say/do anything and as long as they keep playing football everyone goes along with it
With Rodgers trying to transition to podcasts before retiring from the NFL, he may never get that moment of clarity where he’s not surrounded by yes men. Especially since saying insane shit on podcasts is probably the most attention he’s gotten not connected to football
For the entirety of Aaron Rodgers’ life, people are going to be telling him he’s amazing, and that fucks with everyone’s head. You can’t only get positive feedback and wind up well adjusted.
The mental health comments were 2020, so he was still playing. Technically still in the NFL, just a free agent
You people are the drunkest, horniest person at the party. You will do literally anybody. Philosophically speaking.
That and 50 cents will inspire me to outrage, but most of these people are cheaper. How dare he criticize the popular narrative etc.
If (favorite scientist) told you to cut off your nose, you’d do it.
You are all so doomed.
How is the weather in clownland?

Rodgers should just shut up and dribble.
This comment is insensitive to people with CTE and you should feel bad
The people downvoting this comment have CTE.
Who knew that a lifetime of concussions turns your brain to mush?
Glad I never liked him.
Anyone who gives any weight to the verbal vomit of a professional sports celebrity is already on the losing side in the war against Not Being A Fucking Moron.
Okay so how crazy of shit can come out of his mouth before his career is affected?? Yeah I know the answer… But shit, Kaepernick says some very true but uncomfortable things and gets the boot. Rogers spouts insanity and is handed another ball.
I mean… I don’t know if you’re an NFL fan or not but his stock isntly exactly high right now lol. He played like three snaps all season last season, is old for the game (for anyone not named “Tom Brady” anyway), and is wayyyy to much of a liability (and just to damn weird even if the crap he spouts WASNT dangerous) to do any kind of announcing or commenting.
Hes crap in the locker room, having barley talked to Zach Wilson, the kid he left to play his whole season on a doomed team (I guess Zach does owe him a bit though, I really disliked the kid now I give him some respect for stepping aside then stepping up best he could). His career won’t be affected because random crap like this IS his career now. The jets have a contract, but there is no way Rodgers plays any meaningful football anymore.
I honestly am not much of a fan anymore I used to watch it, but I just can’t be bothered to anymore. I got so sick of the management doing the, there is nothing to see behind the curtain shit. Everyone/thing has there bad side but if you can’t own it, I can’t be bothered.
Concussions are serious problems
Who cares what he thinks? He’s famous for mastering the art of spiral throwing a ball, which is a skill perfected by cavemen using spears to hunt with. He is no smarter or more educated than those cavemen were. In fact way less so due to the brain damage.
He actually is very intelligent, as are most NFL quarterbacks. He supposedly scored a 1310 on the SAT, and got a 35 on the NFL’s Wonderlic test (well above average). Also QBs don’t suffer nearly as much brain damage as most NFL positions, especially Rogers.
That said, he’s an idiot.
you can’t trust the grades of athletes in the first place, there are documented scandals which make this plain. The more important you are to the team (ie the more profitable you are to the school, filling seats and winning championships) the more likely you are to be given good grades even if you didn’t do the work.
Not to say it applies to this guy, but fair warning…
You understand less about his job than he understands about AIDS.
No kidding, will news outlets stop giving platforms to people famous for unrelated reasons?
spoiler
No, clicks are a perverse incentive.
“We’re going to put our full trust in science that can’t be questioned?”
You can absolutely question science, Aaron. Doing science is the act of questioning science. However, you actually have to follow the scientific method to do it, and so far Aaron, you’re not.
If you ever want to get out of the practice of bullshit and into the practice of science, you’d be quite welcome, but its got to be science with rigor and reproducible results. Until then, you’re just talking, not scientifically questioning.
reproducible results
I dunno, seems kind of optional
