Copper is usually benignly trolling unless the topic is aviation.
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.

That's a very polite 'FU'.

Could be.
@horace said...Or just a very polite "I'm not touching this toxicity with a 10' pole".
I'd say that it's more likely the latter.
-
By referring to last week's events he is touching it with a 10 foot pole.
I was only joking

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.

tl;dr: "He prolly thinks like I do"

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.
Education is extremely important.

Always nice to hear from you just what it is I think.

Actually you told us what you think in the post above it. I was just making it a bit more concise.

Thanks for that. We're all greatly appreciating your services to TNCR of late.

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

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.
-
I don't actually have any idea. I just thought the statement sounded like a polite F-U. I haven't analyzed his psychology, or worried about him having a revelation, or any of that California style shit. It's just football.
Anyway, suddenly everybody likes Bill Belichick? I thought he was the worst cheat ever to win 8 Super Bowls. A much better way of saying 'fuck you', incidentally.
Personally, I like him. Nobody who looks that miserable the whole time can be all bad.

I never said I liked the guy, through I appreciate that at the time, over these four years, he was willing to buck pop culture and support Trump. I certainly can't blame him for not committing social suicide by being seen next to Trump chumming it up a mere week after the Capitol riots. Maybe Mr Kraft, his boss, would not have that either. Or maybe he realizes his ability to coach his team would be greatly diminished by such a public spectacle.
None of which invalidates the notion that he may have had a moral revelation, but his history suggests not, and there are clear, compelling reasons for him to draft that letter in the absence of any moral revelation.
Maybe the My Pillow guy will still be there beside Trump through these thick and thins.
