[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 910976, member: 10086"] Nice analysis. It is that for certain El Guapo. I’m about to state something that isn’t necessarily an argument you made specifically. So don’t take this as a rebuttal. “Different” does not always equate to better. Do we give up on processes that are meant to better a group on the whole in order to achieve desired success. But in doing so trade that to accommodate some people’s individual feelings of inadequacy? I’d guess I’d need to know more what you define as “freedom” on this next part. As a thought. [B]Uniform[/B] is a big word in the NFL. Why is that? For obvious reasons. Can you imagine if no one wanted to wear the teams uniform? Why do we suppress our feeling of not liking that uniform (freedom)? Why can’t we just “express our own personal freedom and wear street clothes? I’m being sarcastic to express a point. The point being.. there’s a fine line between expressing our individual freedom and doing the things that are required for a greater cause or purpose. Football isn’t about individual’s feelings or freedoms., its about confirming to a team standard that propels is to a objective or cause. It’s not about suppressing ones “freedom” as if were some dictatorship. It shouldn’t be anyway and I’ve not seen any examples of that with this FO that are any different than the norm. You’re either a slave to the ideals and direction of a team mentality.., or you’re a slave to your own individual desires and freedoms.. but trust me you’re definitely a slave of something either way. The difference here is.. Nobody is trampling on Aaron Rodgers individual freedom. He has the ability to walk right out that door without asking permission. That goes for every last player on the team and it should made abundantly clear that this job/profession is 100% voluntary. Every last player is inadvertently asked to willingly participate when they sign a contract and Every contract provides a separation clause. Just because people don’t read contracts doesn’t negate the effect of said contract. We knowingly lose privileges and freedoms every time we sign a contract. I’d argue one should have a process and a common goal to be a member of a team and the most important part of that involves suppressing your personal freedoms. It’s not supposed to be easy, it’s hard and that’s what makes it rewarding when you finish as winners as a team. Each person/player suffered to get there, setting down their own personal ideals/desires in order lift those around them. The reward is in the discipline that it takes to be part of a team, not in the trophy per say The MVP thing means absolutely nothing in the big picture.
