This is gonna be unpopular but there was absolutely nothing wrong with his question.
It was getting to the psychology of extreme high level athletes. Do you take satisfaction in what you achieved or do you obsess over what you didn’t? Or both? Or neither? Either way it’s not insulting.

Fun fact, the Jets are owned by Woody Johnson- whose fortune isn’t in his family’s company (Johnson & Johnson) like most people think, but a private equity firm called The Johnson Company.
It has presided over the worst record in pro sports the last 15 years.

We’re doing the debating the utility of religion thing again which is funny because it always clashes with the wing that wants to let the younger generation of Dems take over.

At 34 I found out I had Crohn’s from a free colonoscopy I got in the army because the army is socialist and socialism keeps our troops alive.
Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"
