But none of them are "holidays" and no one is "forced" to celebrate them

Too funny, these remembrance days are in the national consciousness as much as National Cheesy Sock Day, Belly Laugh Day and Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day.

And yes, those are real but hardly worth discussing.

Agree. Just blows my mind. Seems like a lot of planning and meetings vested in deciding what to call every other day. Just my observation…

Is social media responsible for more young men getting more feminine these days? The closest thing I can remember is the metrosexual trend in the early 2000’s, but that died out. It seems as though the rise of all these platforms have influenced young kids into these weird styles and trends. The painting finger nails is common, but I don’t know the significance of it.

You know you’re getting old when you start saying that **** wouldn’t fly in the era you grew up in.

Did we not just recently have a quarterback that liked to dress flamboyantly?

Not really. The men's skin care business is thriving and growing across the globe.

and $10k bejeweled man purse.

Caleb is 100% free to do this but does not mean us older fans have to like it or put him on a pedestal
I prefer that football players on Patriots not wear nail polish or use pink I phone cases
I admit I am a narrow minded old man

dunno, seems like he's marketing himself pretty well......his brand is being established, he's being talked about before he even plays a down in the league......my guess is the endorsement deals will be racked up pretty quickly

Very mature and condescending of you to share. As you say this is 2024 and a persons sexuality is no longer a thing that enters the discussion. CW's social media presence on the other hand is a concern because it is an indicator that football is not the most important thing to him.

Wow what a stretch. You are jumping to one hell of a conclusion that football is not the most important thing to him with literally nothing to base it off of. The man has devoted the majority of his life to date to football.

Brady did ditch his man purse post-metro phase

Yes he is a football player who has spent a lot of time playing and training for football. My opinion is based on the amount of media attention generated by CW's social media presence. Based on the multiple posts in this thread expressing similar concerns about CW being very self absorbed and the fact that a players commitment to football can be the difference between success and failure as an NFL QB. The bottom line is that the conclusion that CW has other priorities larger that football is a logical conclusion, not a reach. At least as compared to the other top QBs in the draft. You don't have to agree, just don't pretend that my opinion isn't valid.

National donut day is a pretty good one.

"Stay far away from the best QB in the draft" - You.

Maybe all these days and months of pride are there to, I don't know, try to have one nice day to say they exist, they're human, they're happy to be who they are when every other day they have to deal with hate, fear, ignorance, violence, and potentially death. Many choose to bury how they feel in legitimate fear of their lives. For posters who say they don't care, I hope that means they vote for people who support their right to exist. Otherwise, you care...care to make people you don't know miserable.

Why wouldn't "this ****" fly in your "era"?

All of this is quite hilarious. From pink nail polish to the collapse of Western Civilization.

Funniest thread I have read in a while. Keep going.

Good thing you were oblivious to the fact that Brady called every one of his OL "babe."

That would have caused you a coronary, eh?

I've been kind of 'meh' on this kid for awhile now.......recent history has sort of shown the top QBs get all the hype, and it's usually one or two of the mid guys that have a breakout

but after seeing just how bad this kid triggers folks, I'm starting to get on the bandwagon.........I really, really want him to do well at this point.....

I still think some of the "mid' guys are going to do better than the a few at the "top" (staring squarely at Maye & Daniels), but I truly hope Chicago doesn't kill this kid.......hoping for a long, successful career (except vs the Pats)......and hoping he continues to build his brand and pushes a few boundaries, just to watch the old heads and the triggered snowflakes squirm and whine
