A lot of references to critical moments are made with sports. There are no critical moments in most sports games, somebody being in critical condition is a critical moment. Someone performing well under a lot of pressure where not many people would is a lot different than a critical moment.
The guy who helped his team win a ball game isn't really someone who didn't back down from a critical moment, he's just a guy that helped his team win, or didn't quit if they weren't winning, if a reference is made to a guy on a team that didn't win doing something in a critical moment.

Tattoos might have indicated a person's toughness in the past, but those days are long gone. Nowadays, so many people get tattoos that they don't indicate anything. Pussies get tattoos like many other people do these days. You got people nowadays who get tattoos just to look tough or to look like somebody they know, or to look like a bunch of other people with the same tattoo.
He/she got a tattoo(s) to try and get more respect than they did as a kid, back when he/she was a fuckin dork.

Race relations seemed better and less divided a few years ago, back when the Confederate statues were still around. At least back then, even if they argued at times, they were still talking points. Now that the statues aren't there people are expected to forget history, change, and compromise. That won't make anything better. Before the statues were removed people said they were divisive, but race relations seemed to do well. Now that they've been removed, people really are more divided.
Race relations don't improve if people don't get to discuss history from all angles, even the unpopular (unprofitable) ones. As long as one group wants another group to change, forget, or compromise, things aren't going to get better, they're going to keep getting worse.

Apologies are pointless and mean nothing as long as you never acknowledge the error in your ways. Being apologetic won't bring George Floyd back, but an officer acknowledging that he/she isn't perfect or always right, even if he/she is a decent guy/ girl, and more people would get to live all the years they were meant to live, the same full life as the one that the officers will get to live.
Everybody has had some kind of error in their ways somewhere. If they were a computer, they'd have a lower rate of error, but they're not a computer, they are human and they fuck up a lot more than a computer.

If you're a quarterback, and you hear an announcer saying something about you flying through the air like Superman, hopefully you already have enough life experience to know he's trying to make fun of you and not comment on what a great job you were doing, even if you're young.
A quarterback who doesn't listen too closely to the bullshit is more likely to get things done. You don't have to let it get you mad, you can get serious.
