Kant could, but only indirectly.I don't know about any of that but I once heard Emmanuel Kant couldn't. But take that for what it's worth.
No, some of them used to be able to.Kinda like Bequette, then, huh?

Of course! After all one might say Heidegger was the intellectual father of the blitz...
No, I suspect he's a Loyalist!
He's pretty lucky if that was his first major run-in with dementia. One of my grandmothers was a basket case. The other had strokes, which had some of the same effects. Between my wife's parents and mine we went 4-for-4 with dementia, and the only one whose dementia was entirely mild complicated it with addictions. Really just one grandfather and a deaf aunt escaped; otherwise I've seen it hit almost every elderly member of my family.
(Both grandfathers, actually, but the other one died before I was born.)
Only for, like, Aristotle, Aquinas, and maybe Heidegger. Kierkegaard and the German philosophers would certainly have a bone to pick with this, to say nothing of 20th century thinkers like Foucault and Sartre. It's probably misused here but morality is not just good vs evil.
I'm a lot more sympathetic to the argument that football is inherently problematic because of its danger than a lot of posters here but this article is pretty putrid in laying it out. TNC had a good article on the NFL and Tony Dorsett at the Atlantic people should check out though.
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with the article nor do I see it as an attempt to undermine the sport by the Red Sox. My family have been around football their whole life and I think that it's always good to be critical of even things you love. It's a complicated topic but nothing that anyone should be afraid of when it comes to the suffering of these people we watch. They pay a heavy price for their excellence and our enjoyment and we need to examine who we are as people when we ignore the consequences of the game. How may times have people wished injury on another player or questioned their injuries while ignoring the harm they do to themselves to get back to the field?
Personally, I think it's been ignored too long and this isn't Greenpeace raising the issue. The issue is being raised by those who have suffered the most, the players. They're not trying to destroy the game. They're just trying to prevent the game from destroying their peers and that means holding the NFL accountable for safety. They (former players) want the media to write these articles so that the discussion is unavoidable.
The fact is, it has people talking and that's what they really want
no, around the league... some would say because the game, it has credibly. My point is simply that I don't take him any more seriously than I would anyone else just because he's got a forum to speak from (the Globe).a few players said what? Patriot players said this? References please...
Kant could, but only indirectly.
You don't think an economic war is being waged by the Globe against the Krafts?
Why you should stop watching football - Magazine - The Boston Globe
".....Over the past year, I’ve studied the history of football and thought a lot about what the game means. I’ve come to believe that football fosters within us a tolerance for violence, greed, misogyny, and militarism. I believe it does economic damage to our communities and to the national soul. These are some of the reasons why I’ve stopped watching."
Rah, rah, Red Sox!
