It was neither awful and disgraceful nor noble and profound. It was just goofy, like a child refusing to eat broccoli. A guy fading into obscurity trying to keep the fires burning.
You know what it was really disrespectful to? Protest.
Since I know none of our resident Bible thumpers are gonna jump in and say it, I will. You know who likes doofuses (or is the plural doofi?)? God. Specifically, the God of the Christian Bible, who never chose a prophet or leader who wasn't a doofus. Who cares - I really don't, but it is fun to point out some times.
But seriously, I don't care if if was Johnny Unitas or Brett Favre or Jerry Rice or AJ Green - dude took a stand. Good for him. I still agree with the Captain's take.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
