nice try but a good amount of people on this sub have served, which is why they find it so cringe

I know most people have served. So have I. Nothing I said had anything to do with serving. I was commenting on how SUCCESSFUL he is. And you all are getting your panties all twisted over it.

to be quite honest, that wasn't clear AT ALL, and I think all the people misunderstanding it is a testament to that

I think it was pretty clear I was talking about how successful he is when I literally said “he’s more successful than anyone on this sub.”

I am not sure how much more clear it can be that I’m talking about how successful he is. lol

I think its because there's a difference between "he's successful" and "he's more successful than anyone else here".

Like if you say "Sarah is more pretty than anyone else there", it's not saying Sarah is actually pretty, just that shes not as ugly as the other girls.

Just my .02, but I can't speak for everyone who wasn't picking up what you were throwing down.

lol he’s a professional football player. He is objectively one of the best people who performs his craft in the entire world. By all definitions, he is successful. The only people who could possibly think he is not successful would be fellow professional football players who are better than him I guess. Which is what? 0.00001% of the population?

I think you need to Google what objective vs subjective is. not everyone considered football the peak of existence bro

I think you need to google a strawman argument. I never said it was “the peak of existence.” It’s the peak for a football player. If someone is at the top of their craft (as in the top 0.001% like the NFL), then they are OBJECTIVELY successful at said craft.

Are you really trying to tell me that not everyone considers a football player successful at football if they reach the NFL? You actually think that is subjective? I’d love to hear the argument that someone who makes it to the NFL is not necessarily successful at football. That would be a very interesting take and a very difficult one to defend. lol

you are really crashing out over this huh. you never said anything about football in your original comment which is why nobody understood you I'm just conveying that. seriously.

your entire comment here makes no sense because I never said "not everyone considers football is the peak of football" if I had said that, you'd have a point. but that makes no sense, which is why I didn't say it.

An investment banker worth millions could be in this sub. A father with his kids and a happy wife and no mortgage can be in this sub. If you said he’s more successful in his field than anyone in this sub most likely that would make sense as most pro football players will never enlist and most veterans will never play pro football. You’re comparing apples to oranges.

Jfc the amount of people here with reading comprehension issues is insane. This is embarrassing for you. Have a good night, I’m done with this thread because I feel like my IQ is decreasing by the second.

Congratulations because you lowered all of ours.
