“I also think one of the things that's really hurting us is political activism of any stripe. Michael Jordan had it exactly right, he was my idol - when he was asked about a political question at one point and he said I'm not going to answer it, and they said why not, and he said: Because Republicans buy gym shoes too, right? That doesn't exist anymore, that kind of smarts.” ThinkingKindSaidPoliticalHurtAnswersRepublicanSmartShoesActivismWhy NotGymIdolsThey SaidJordanStripesPolitical Activism Author:Edward Allen Bernero

“What gets made that's considered for men - it's really just T&A stuff. It's not stuff than any guy I know really wants to watch, you know, the stuff with jiggling boobs and all that.
