That was a very emotional post.
Sell-outs? hardly. Not sure why you despise a company that creates jobs for 1.5 million people who have limited abilities or skills and who would otherwise be on the gubmint dole. Not sure how you or anyone could think that's a bad thing.
Maybe you tink dems peoples woo dint lern 2 rid nor write so gud shood makes da same monnies as dem colliage gradietes?
Here are some FACTS about the Robertsons.
wiki:
A little more on Phil Robertson:
he grew up in Louisiana the 5th of seven children. They lived in poverty without electricity, a bathtub, or even a toilet.
They lived off the land with what they could grow or catch.
In his book
Happy Happy Happy, he describes how they lived like it was 2 centuries ago but they were happy as could be without all that modern stuff spoiled people need.
In high school he was all-state in football, track and baseball and he got a scholarship to Louisiana Tech where he was the starting quarterback. He was the FIRST overall NFL pick in the 1970 draft.
The second string quarterback at LA tech was a guy named Terry Bradshaw.
He played football at a world class level, but did it to get the scholarship so he could get a degree. Not for fame, not for wealth, for a degree and he gave all that wealth and fame up because it conflicted with what he loved and who he was.
Sounds to me like the opposite of a sell-out.
He fell on hard times in his early 20's with drinking and sinning, but became born again and cleaned up his act and has been a good father and husband ever since.
He started a small business making duck calls and did it better than anyone else had done, and it grew into a multi-million dollar company.
He is real when he portays family values and morals, something there is simply not enough of out there anymore.
