It is obvious the person who wrote this article has little or no understanding of objectivism. One of the base ideals of objectivism is that people will do what is best for them. This article essentially states that the coaches are not doing what is best for themselves and motivated by holding the little guy down at the cost of what is best for them.

I am not sure exactly what is best, as I do not watch or follow football, and it does not matter. An article which blames Rand's philosophy for people not doing what is in there own best interest has no understanding of Objectivism.

Hello jmlesniewski,

I am impressed with the thought, that the plethora of negative articles referencing Rand that you present (some like this one, absurd beyond belief) are evidence the collectivist, progressives feel threatened. Does this mean they are uncomfortable with the prospect of an expanding recognition of objective reality, or is it an actual awakening among many that they fear? Until recently little was said about Rand. It seemed she was considered just an obscure name from the past of little relevance. The constant harangue from some of the media nowadays would indicate otherwise…

I note that near the end of the article, we hear the same tired misconception dragged out that in some way Rand and her philosophy would label laborers/ referees as moochers…

Regards,
O.A.

Aww crap. Somebody figured that this is Ayn Rand's fault too.
On the upside though, "grotesque plentitude" may be my new favorite locution.
