What's new

John Stockton anti vaxxer? Who would have thought.

That defines most of the human race. Try being in management for a while, I feel like I run a day-care for adults much of the time. The pettiness and blowing minor **** out of proportion and, like this one, finding weird hills to die on is just ridiculous. Had a guy in his mid-30's who had 5 kids, from all accounts a great dad, and he was a great worker. was a newly promoted lead. He was slated to move up even from there, was performing really well, wanted to get a promotion, become a manager one day, all that. Then one day he lead some other guy and a group of about half a dozen onlookers out into the parking lot and had a fist-fight, right on company property, on company time (in between breaks). Obviously all involved were fired, we had it all on video, police were called people arrested, including him for instigating. Turns out he threw everything away because the other guy "dissed" his sister or some such nonsense and he had to protect his honor "like a man". Instead of taking care of your family "like a man" apparently. The icing on the cake was he lost the fight, pretty handily, as the dude he decided to teach a lesson to was 10 years younger, and maybe 4 inches taller and way more buff. People are stupid.

Never get to know your sports heroes…


During the interview, Stockton asserted that more than 100 professional athletes have died of vaccination. He also said tens of thousands of people – perhaps millions – have died from vaccines.

“I think it’s highly recorded now, there’s 150 I believe now, it’s over 100 professional athletes dead – professional athletes – the prime of their life, dropping dead that are vaccinated, right on the pitch, right on the field, right on the court,” Stockton said in the interview.

Stockton needs to stop “researching” on Facebook and 8chan and actually read something from a credible source. Yikes
 
Nothing on google about hundreds of athletes dying from vaccines or COVID in general. Did find this though.

Stockton seems to fit the mold of an idiot anti-vaxxer. Relying on fake information to push the narrative.

I unfoetunately have some family members that are the same way. I will never look at them the same way again.

It is one think to not get the vaccine, it is another to not get it based on clearly fake data/representations that a 10 second Google search will gice you 50 articles stating that info is fake. The athletes dying on the field is a good example. Or the soccer player (who actually died in 2004) that many are saying died recently of the vaccine. Simply crazy.

Kareem came out and said that crazy statements like Stockton's make athletes look like dumb jocks. The truth is many fit that mold.

Athletes don't make millions for being smart, charming, polite, good sales skills, etc. They make money from physical prowess and physical skills. Abdul-Jabbar (who is obviously pretty smart) is kidding himself is he doesn't think there are a lot of dumb people in professional sports, or that there should not be. It's up to fans to understand that athletic skill does not imply expertise in vaccinations.

I don't think Jabbar was saying all athletes are smart. I think he is saying that Stockton makes athletes look stupid for trying to explain away something that is obviously a pandemic, and using fake data to say vaccines are dangerous. Essentially it makes even the dumb people in professional sports appear even more dumb.

And yes, Kareem seems to be very intelligent. I read his autobiography when I was young. It was a fun read. IIRC, the first line of the book was something like, "I used to have my *** handed to me every day."). Pretty funny.

I thought that there wouldn't even be that many current athletes dying in a large period of time. But I actually found some study that had 600+ soccer players around the world dying during a match or shortly after the match ended between 2014 and 2018. So I guess its plausible that this many active professional athletes died in the last 2 years. Definitely had nothing to do with the vaccine but I can at least believe that they could find enough deaths to make up some stupid story about this. My guess is that deaths of players in this situation dropped sharply during the last two years. Less sports being played and more heath checks happening for those that are. I am sure he did some solid research though...

Salesman must love when gullible Stockton walks through their doors.

funny how we see those claims and yet not a single real person is being mentioned. Just numbers. Absolute insanity that Stockton got infected with covidiotism.
 
I read some article where the gist of the article was "how the **** did mild mannered spotlight avoiding John Stockton become a huge anti-covid vax person."

I couldn't agree more. This is really bizarre. Even if I agreed with him (full disclosure, I don't and it makes me sad that perhaps my favorite athlete of all time is doing this), this is just really out of character with how he's lived his life since his retirement.

It's kind of not.

He's always been sort of an *******. We just all accepted it as part of his desire to be private. But he wasn't private, he was just an *******.

He's always expressed what I, a non religious person, would describe as extremist religious views. So he has abdicated reality in favor of religious fantasy and this fits in with that very easily. When you can accept the impossibility of Christian doctrine as a fact then you open yourself up to the acceptance of many impossible ideas as facts.

That's why I describe the belief in Christianity as an abdication of the mind and of reality. You are required to accept impossible concepts and "believe" in them with all of your heart as a baseline. Well, once that's done and you've already abdicated reality for fantasy, you're ready for any sort of programming, since you have decided to believe in non-factual things.

You're right. I don't recall your background, but I fell into a similar slump in HS. My family had no concept of, and I think didn't know we'd have to foot the bill for a mission.

I had the "privilege" of attending a baptism the last few months. I just can't get over how the one can say "with the right answer you'll feel nothing", while the other says "you'll immediately know the wrong choice".
