Nonsense and this guy just go hand in hand.
I only think it's 'nonsense' if you somehow position pro sport (esp. NFL football) as 'sensical'. This is spectacle and entertainment at a level unrivaled at any time in history. Prince changed his name to a symbol. We know her only as "Madonna". Other entertainers do it all the time. Nonsense? Only if the way we valorize these people makes sense.
I'd say that nonsense and pro football go hand in hand.
All I can say is, if He's listening, God, please do bless America. Save it from its evil ways.
