Haven't we progressed past this as a society by now?

Tim to put a stop to the stigmatism.

    Am I wrong or is this dude basically making the Jimmy academically prowessed argument about why he intentionally went to a place where he wasn't going to win a national championship so he went to the ninth most academically prowessed school in the Pac-12? If I'm an NFL GM or coach I certainly want to draft a guy who values a connection to the "greatest organization in the world" over winning. No wonder he couldn't figure out how to get more than like 7 sacks a season in the world Pac-12s ever.

    Finally, 90% of Oregon football players can work for Nike corporate? So like 70 of the guys on your team? Why does your GOAT LaMichael James run like a Burgermaster or some shit in Albany, Oregon? Phil's not stupid. I've never heard about many former Oregon football players working at Nike corporate let alone outlet stores.

    I think he was talking about being marketed by Nike, not working for Nike. He said he wanted to be a part of Nike because American football is only a big deal in America, but if he’s literally an American football player, doesnt that mean America is the only place Nike will market him? His argument seemed self defeating. I think he wants to be Lebron but the issue is Lebron plays the biggest international sport in the world behind soccer.
    I think he mixed up Phil’s gobbledygook until it came out like this guy.
