The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

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.

No kidding, will news outlets stop giving platforms to people famous for unrelated reasons?

No, clicks are a perverse incentive.

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 understand less about his job than he understands about AIDS.
