All the sheep bleat when the wolf shows his teeth
Whitlock's point is there are predators and there are prey. To play in NFL you need to be a predator. I don't disagree...most women and CACs are weak like sheep and went crazy (bleating) over Sherman this week.
Thug based on the Thugee cult of India were assassins who killed a lot of travelers and British settlers. So the racial connotation has always been there. I disagree with his assessment that it doesn't have racial overtones...plus 2pac changed how the word thug was perceived
You can't have it both ways either you have NFL guys who play with a predator mindset aggressive (Butkis, Singletary, Lott) or you use flags. I hear a lot of sheep this week...
I liked his point that Ivy League degrees don't put you above crime, corruption or malice
I'm done listening to sheep, the weak are meat and the wolf will eat
