Going to work and relating to people through work is something a lot of people dont take for granted when they become unemployed. You can survive without work or a social life, but theres a sense that something is missing if people try to do it for an extended time.

If theres a good thing that came out of Cam Newton's departure from Carolina, it is that Carolina wasnt quick to trade Cam for a white quarterback. It's a good thing for where the league is headed that quarterback and leadership opportunities have opened up, that the captain doesnt have to look, think, or act a certain way. There is such a thing as people who didn't and still don't respect Peyton Manning, so whether or not people respect you doesnt determine who you are or what you do in life, even if it has an effect on you. It's good the league hasn't given up on something because it's still new and unfamiliar.
There havent been a lot of guys doing what Cam Newton is doing now, theres also teammates, opponents, fans, coaches, and the media he's had to try and get recognition and respect for what he's doing, and has the potential to do. It's not an easy road even if you make a lot of money, but it does still come with choices. Theres a world filled with criticism, it's going to be there anyway.

Being the asshole and knowing it is a better fate than an apology that won't fix anything but makes you look better.
The Houston Astros have options, it would be great for them to know they can choose to be the assholes of the league and still survive to another postseason in the future.

A black redneck is a lot like a white blues player. A black redneck wears a cowboy hat and boots, chews tobacco, goes to or participates in rodeos, drives a pickup truck, and writes or makes country music. A black redneck talks with a drawl.
The black redneck was at the Grand Ole Opry the same night the white blues player was at the House of Blues, and he fit right in.

Someone who's got party trick after party trick after party trick, but leaves you no reason to ever miss their presence after the party. Similar to a puppet master.
The party trick master has mastered every one of her party tricks, but when the people she thought of as her puppets are no longer around, the difference between her and them is they don't miss her presence or mind being alone, away from from the party, away from the group.
