    I'm not often very serious, but the selection of Belichick for this award is fine with me.

    Look at the list of recipients, it is full of entertainers and sports figures. Mr. Belichick has been a significant sports figure for decades.

    I don't see any question.

      Belichick says "Thanks, but no thanks."

      "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          That's a very polite 'FU'.

          I was only joking

            Or just a very polite "I'm not touching this toxicity with a 10' pole".

              This question has occupied me for years.

              I think it's more that Copper mixes it up, possibly for self amusement. He is often subtle. You just don't always know.

                  I'd say that it's more likely the latter.

                          It read very much like a guy who made the calculated decision not to associate himself and his family and his organization with the cultural forces that are currently square in the sights of a 50mm cancelation gun. These sorts of pragmatic decisions have been going on since the beginning of Trump's presidency, but the immediacy of the concern skyrocketed in the wake of the Capitol riots. Of course he'll mention the riots, while also paying fealty to the BLM stuff. That's what those pragmatic decisions look like.

                              He historically does not hate Trump. There's a decent chance I relate to him psychologically more than you or Phibes do. Each of you think it's a FU to Trump because that's what you think like. Oh objective one.

                                        You've spent way too much time in California if you say things like that 🙂

                                        I was only joking

                                          Fact is, he never hated Trump through Trump's presidency. I gather they were friends. So I think my interpretation of his message is reasonable, if even maybe more cynical than yours, from some perspectives. You think he had a moral revelation, I think he is in the business of being a responsible leader of his family and organization and not putting them in the way of the cancelation machine, which just got kicked into overdrive.

                                          Education is extremely important.
