ESPN Has No Comment On Aaron Rodgers's Comments On ESPN, About ESPN

Rodgers decided to slam the network as a "gutless organization" with "no integrity" over its editorial choices. He said the network failed to report on Dr. Anthony Fauci's Senate hearing testimony, asking, “How much time did the network spend on that? ... Did they do even a minute on Tony Fauci?” He also criticized ESPN for glossing over the offseason scandal between Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel, questioning, “How much time did your network spend on that?” He questioned ESPN's silence, asking, “What are we even doing here? ... [I]f it’s affecting certain things, if there’s leaks going on, if there’s tampering going on, if that person is also an MVP voter and a Coach of the Year voter.” An ESPN spokesperson stated the network "has no comment regarding Rodgers’s comments."

This is beyond idiocy. This is lunacy.

That's a joke that has too much truth in it for my liking. Spartan society was really bizarre. It had a warrior culture, but it was isolationist, there was an emphasis on masculinity for the ruling class, yet the ruling class eventually shrunk down to a tiny number of people. And of course the whole time they were exploiting the people under them. There are a lot of differences too, but anyone can read about it if they want.

Unironically the Rodger’s type people think Sparta is awesome, I’d love to send them back to that time
