Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
Cam Skattebo, a 24-year-old NFL star, has decided that CTE and asthma are not real. He thinks they’re just excuses for being “soft”. His comments have sparked outrage, but let’s be real, this is just another case of an athlete speaking their mind without thinking it through.
The habit gets a new name: “Tough Guy Talk”.
Skattebo’s comments are a perfect example of how athletes often speak without thinking, and then face the consequences. But hey, at least he’s consistent, right? He’s not just wrong about CTE and asthma, he’s also wrong about being a good role model.
Original observation: Athletes are not medical experts, but they play them on podcasts.
