Let me explain why I think Freddy resonates. Lots of Europeans visit the USA as tourists. They visit New York City, or Washington DC, or Hollywood, or Las Vegas, and if they visit natural beauty too, they go to really crowded places like the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone. So while they see our cultural and natural icons, they are mostly in blue cities and they therefore also see the decline, the homeless, the drugs, the dirt and the rude, rude Americans. But Freddy is not doing that. Freddy is driving, and he’s doing it through the heartland, where people are kind and polite, the skies are wide open, and the bounty of Buc-ees and Bass Pro Shops are overwhelming. Freddy is not seeing fentanyl and decline. He is seeing the real, hopeful, patriotic, kind America that European tourists rarely traverse. And he loves it. That’s why Freddy is a phenomenon.

THE MOMENT!!!

Jeter was the face of the Yankees. He sat in that clubhouse every night, watched teammates stick needles in their asses, won a WS MVP and rings off the back of it and said nothing. For years. Not until reporters dragged it into the light. “Innocent” is a word you use for a kid who didn’t know what was happening. Jeter knew. He profited. He stayed quiet. Jeter let the entire sport eat the consequences while he kept the trophies. I don’t think he gets enough criticism for it. I don’t think any player, manager or coach from the Yankees should be allowed to even buy a ticket to the HOF, let alone get inducted into it.
