Andrew

Welcome to the show.

This is going to be a trip.

Yeah.

Thanks for having me.

I've listened to a few episodes, so I was excited when you asked me to come on.

Love your work.

And this is going to be a good rant.

And not even really a rant, because honestly, when you start to peel this back, it is really like a textbook case study rant.

from what we know on like just straight up organizational decay yeah like you get such a clear picture on how just really a few people in this case 32 NFL owners can just completely dictate the life of you know thousands of people who are literally sacrificing their bodies to try and you know escape whatever poverty they come from uh in in their in their earlier life so

It's fascinating.

It's sad.

I mean, this is one of those areas that I have, obviously, because it's my job, but just like extreme cognitive dissonance sometimes.

I love football.

You know, I played from the time I was seven through college.

Obviously, like I do this work.

It's kind of giving me like everything.

And then you have to deal with just so much bad stuff that comes with it.

Yeah.

Yeah, like, I remember, like, covering the Colin Kaepernick season, which was 10 years ago as of this year.

Right?
