Given Brock’s salary for his first two years in the NFL vs what Arch Manning reportedly banked in NIL oil $$ @ Texas for sitting on the bench all year, maybe these guys are not so stupid after all!!
I am a fool. I admit it. Why? For believing your personal morality, how you understand the world in which we live, matters.
Morality. If your own self-aggrandizement is the key, then others don't matter so much when compared with our fellow human beings. Your own connection to the history of humankind and our evolution, intellectually and morally, doesn't much matter.
(Maybe I'm thinking of men like Jimmy Stewart, who had it made and could have stayed in that den of inequity, Hollywood. Yet, he joined the Army 8th Air Force and flew as a pilot into one of the most dangerous areas of WWII - daytime bombing of Germany.)
Ok, others here might believe personal, individual values that don't include our fellow citizens isn't important. Different views. No doubt.
Without, though, such cooperation and values, would we have won World War II? Could we have reached the Moon? Could we. . . . sigh
(Damn, I've been drinking Budweisers tonight.)
