Stop comparing NFL to Military


Lumps

So the mentality of men wearing pads hitting each other for the sake of a game is the same as soldiers sent in the middle of no where being flamed by bullets dodging life and death is the same?

Alright, I was with you until you brought money into the equation. The money has nothing to do with it. Just because a soldier risks his life for less money does not make his job more admirable. It's not like he didn't agree to receiving that amount of money before putting his (or her) life on the line (not to mention not all soldiers are in direct danger).

The reason the soldier's job is more admirable is because he does in fact put his life on the line, but he does it because of the "brothers" beside him, as well as the ones back home, not because of the money. I think that was your point, but you drew a comparison that was just wrong, in my opinion.

This is retarded.

People can make whatever analogies they wish especially if the concept being illustrated is logical. Just because you are offended by the comparison for whatever reason doesn't make the comparison invalid or inappropriate.

I am not arguing what people can and can't do but that doesn't make it on some level disrespectful (see video). Your going the wrong direction with your logic. Let's reword your exact statement shall we?

Just because your not offended by the comparison for whatever reason doesn't make the comparison valid or appropriate.

Unless your an asshole douche with no regard to anyone else but yourself (a punk, once again see video), then yes you are making 100% sense.

Hearing actual soldiers has made me simmer down about the whole thing, I appreciate the responses specifically from you guys and thank you fro your service. I guess if it doesn't bother you guys, I'll try not let it bother me. :D

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
