*Similarities to today: Discarding heroes when they’re no longer useful. Name a few.*
Churchill after WW2 was won. Bush ‘41 after Kuwait. Trump. Trent Dilfer-lol.
Yes, Trent got a raw deal. Especially since the Ravens did not have a QB in waiting to take his place.
I remember, at the turn of the century, that there were many polls of different things: best movie of the century, most admired person, etc.
There was one poll on the most influential person of the 20th century, and Winston Churchill came out on top.
A few years ago, people in Britain were rioting, and they tore down the statue of Churchill. I just shook my head at that. 20 years is all it took to go from "most influential" to having your statue torn down.
