Reddit reviews Making the Call: Living with Your Decisions

Does knowing the ref (Lance Easley) wrote a book about it make you feel any better? 😉

/r/NFL is a sub for talking about football. So it is expected for this sub to look at this from a football perspective. I understand why you feel the way you do, but recognize your mind goes where it does because that is what you do every day. The majority of people come here just to talk about football. We aren't here to provide counseling to this man or to analyze his psychological issues.

If this article was posted in /r/psychology or somewhere like that, then you would have seen multiple responses parroting your viewpoint. But this sub is about football, not mental illness, so people are going to discuss the football impact, not the psychological impact.

It would honestly be strange if every time I came to /r/NFL it was full of people looking at things from a psychological perspective instead of from a football perspective. Like, after Suh stepped on Aaron Rodgers, if instead of talking about what he did, if everyone was instead pondering why he did it: "I wonder if he was hugged enough as a child?" "Did he grow up in a family with drug/alcohol problems?" "Was their abuse?" I think you see where this is going. There are subs for precisely that sort of conversation, but this isn't one of them.

Edit: It should also be pointed out that Mr. Easley wrote a book discussing this exact play. I'm not going to ignore the financial benefit he receives from publicly discussing anew his battle with depression, especially given the timing of this article coincides with the second-most watched football weekend of the year.
