I really appreciate that. Thank you for being awesome. Also a funny anecdote. My boss and I are both Jewish and oblivious and with impressive consistency on calls with opposing counsel have proposed follow up calls only to be told that date is a Christian holiday. Just a funny reversal of norms.

Watching the fans defend Big Ben off the field, and insisting James Harrison and Matt Cooke (switching sports here) were just playing the game the old fashion way when men were men 🤢 until suddenly the teams found a narrative to abandon them and the fans were right on board.

Fantastic article. My parents moved to Pittsburgh from CT back in 2010, and I’ve come to be rather grouchy with Pittsburgh sports fans (and also Pirates ownership). The teams embrace the blue collar vibes to weaponize it against players seeking their due. A perverse circling of the wagons.

Robert E. Lee was a traitor, a slave master, and a white supremacist. He doesn’t deserve to be honored in any way, shape, or form, especially in an institution (West Point) that he betrayed by taking up arms against.

This painting is classic Lost Cause revisionism; it was commissioned after Truman ordered desegregation of the military. Army Secretary Gordon Gray was a nepobaby (daddy was chair of RJ Reynolds) who led the dubious "Gray Board" that yanked Oppenheimer's clearance. Real piece of work all around.
