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.
THIS GUY WAS A BRONCO?????? I DON’T THINK SO!!!!!!!
And that should be the end of it.
How many of US have read something that changed our minds and hearts ?
If Chomsky changed him, he was destined to quit anyway ... or worse
Leave the guy alone.
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.
We’re missing the point-A pro football player is reading a book that doesn’t come with crayons.
Every now and then, a liberal gets something right.
Exactly. I've had many frustrated mornings at work, listening to non-stop sports talk. There are several HUGE sports fans that do not even follow news or politics. I'm very frustrated with the bread and circuses going on, and everyone's addiction to them. Don't get me wrong, I love sports, but I haven't had TV in over a decade, and I can still follow sports, but politics is far FAR more important. Sports are a pleasant distraction. Hey! My Cardinals went to the world series again! Didn't see a minute of the games.
The story reports, "...said he plans to spend more time with his parents, his girlfriend and her 5-year-old daughter.
The story does not report the child to be his.
Big hitter, the Lama.
Of course the Dalai Lama's a Marxist
Dalai Lama and Chomsky sing from the same hymn book.
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?
Being 6’4”, 319 lbs and playing professional football for a living doesn’t make someone an idiot.
Citing Noam Chomsky as a life-changing influence certainly does.
