Reminder that Cam Newton, an NFL MVP and guy that willed his team to the Super Bowl a few years ago, has never, ever gotten a "Roughing the Passer" call as a quarterback, because's he's 6'5" and 245 lbs and black, but also a rushing threat (because black people have to be 10x better than equivalent white people to get the job).

This is not hyperbole. In his 8 year career, he has literally never gotten a "roughing the passer" flag, it's a running joke in the NFL.

Because he's mobile, even though he's built like a brick shithouse, refs have ~*somehow*~ decided that getting clobbered by defenders even while he's in the pocket is his fault and haven't thrown a flag for him in a decade of playing time.

Meanwhile, if you tap Tom Brady (6'4", 225, and just south of "glacial" in terms of mobility) while he still has the ball, it's 15 yards and a first down.

he's gotten a few since 2016 (one in particular i remember because i was watching that game last year). it's definitely true how he gets significantly less than some people

Consumption is the only kind of identity most people have left now. Everything's been either co-opted into it or obliterated.

You tell people they shouldn't be defined by what they consume, but what else do they have?

this was mostly what i meant by "everything is nerd culture now" tbh
