1. Pete Hegseth doesn't know what he's talking about.

IMO he's just a loud-mouth jerk.

What about former NFL players who don't want their sons to play football?

“Real men” (a term I hate to use) aren’t all the same. Sure, many men love football; and there’s nothing wrong with that. (Not unless they try to force their preference upon others, especially nonathletic boys who have no interest in sports.) Some men don’t love football. Why does that upset some people? Who cares?

By and large, the Hegseths of this world don’t appreciate moral courage. That's because they don't have any.

I once knew a white civil rights attorney of the World War II generation. After he returned from serving in the Navy in the Pacific theater, he became an attorney in the state of Texas. He publicly advocated for civil rights beginning in the early 1950s. He and his wife and children frequently received death threats, but he could never be intimidated. Guys like Hegseth would never be willing to put themselves into this sort of position. Indeed, he would have been too “soft” (to use his word).

Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish businessman who saved the lives of tens of thousands of Jews in Hungary during the war, was an extremely courageous man who risked his own life repeatedly as he saved the lives of others. He had far more courage than most of us (including myself, needless to say). Interestingly enough, he did not fit the “macho male” stereotype at all. He was a plain-looking, slightly built man who, in the words of his half-sister, “detested competitive team sports.” Machismo, properly defined, has no use for the Wallenbergs of this world. Indeed, it ignores their very existence.

3. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that this guy was a bully in high school. n/t

2. FURIOUS...

I am really never surprised to hear anything Fox says. Those people are beyond reality. They can take their FURIOUS and stew with it. Maybe, just maybe they will be able to cook up a brain cell, and use that to think straight with.

4. Peter Hegseth

is a former right wing talk show nut. Tweety invited him on Hardball once and the conversation turned to Chamberlain and the apparent appeasement agreement with Germany. For appeasement to work you have to get something for something....."peace in our time" and Germany's promise to ratchet back it's invasion of European nations. Well, Mathews cornered Hegseth regarding the meaning of appeasement. All Hegseth did was repeat appeasement, appeasement. Mathews asked him what appeasement meant. Again the peter-less dude kept repeating it ad nauseam back to Mathews. After about the fourth time Mathews got the same bullshit answer, Mathews cut him off and was never seen again on any NBC affiliates, that is until he showed up on Fox. An intellectual heavyweight he ain't.

5. The last 2minutes seemed like a Monty Python sketch.

6. As a child

playing peewee football if I did not meet my father's expectations he would take me home and whip me with his belt all the while yelling that I must play better. I hate football and have never been to a game while in college nor have I ever watched one on TV. I mostly blame my father's frequent whippings mainly on the war (WWII). He was pretty crazy to his family but to those outside the family he appeared to be greatest guy in the world. I think the war fucked up a lot of people of my parent's generation but they held it in because you just were supposed to leave the war behind and never speak of it again.

8. That's absolutely appalling.

What you suffered was nothing less than outright child abuse. And all in the name of sport.

I'm very sorry this happened to you. No wonder you hate football. I would, too, if this had happened to me when I was a kid.

"A giant net to catch all the masculinity".
