But it is more than appropriate to apply it to what we bore witness to yesterday.
Not the moon landing.
Not the American Revolution.
NotJersey Jerry crapping himself on the subway.
But even those momentous events had their detractors.
Those who felt they were not the triumphs of the human spirit they were made out to be.
Or who actually argued that they were negatives.
And as improbable as this sounds, the same is true in this instance.
I mean, look at the thousands of likes each of these posts has.
And they’ve only been up for 20 hours or so.
So what else is new?
They thought he could never play the game.
The stuck him on the bench.
Drafted six quarterbacks and 198 assorted other guys ahead of him.
Put him on the bench again.
Claimed all his success was due to luck or unfairness or cheating.
And now they’re coming after him yet again.
So it’s war then.
I look forward to my close personal friend proving yet another generation of doubters wrong.
