In light of where some of this thread has gone, I want to be really clear here, I value what you wrote here. It's a perspective that I, thankfully, have little experience with. I validate that I've never "been in the ballpark," and I doubt the author has either. I'm glad you shared your perspective, it's worthwhile to note how an article like this can seem opportunistic to someone that has been in the ballpark.

Thanks.

I understand your response earlier even if I don't agree with it.

For a "thoughtful" website you sure get stupid sometimes. I'm having a better discussion about a related topic on /r/nfl.

Enjoy your conversations, wherever they may be. I don't think I said anything stupid anywhere in this thread, and stand by my comments. We have different perspectives and as such the article elicited different emotional responses. It is what it is.
