A Visit to MAHA Land With Mets Icon Noah Syndergaard (gq.com)

The former pitcher known as Thor goes to Washington to talk electromagnetic radiation—and “brutally frame mogs” Ted Cruz.

This is actually really sad. Yes, Noah’s gone full MAGA now, so my sympathy only extends so far, but this is a portrait of a paranoid man who no longer knows who he is, is aware he’s being used, and desperately wants to recapture what he once had. Captivating read. #Mets www.gq.com/story/noah-s...

You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Real good chance he’d still be playing if he had followed sound advice from people smarter than him instead of throwing every pitch as hard as possible and building up unnecessary muscle mass. So a natural for the MAHA raw milk crowd, obviously.

Thanks for sharing this interesting read. I just wish he would use his free time and millions of dollars to help make positive changes, rather than promote misinformation.

It was quite fascinating.

He gets no sympathy from me. Plenty of people struggle to stay relevant without resorting to rubbing shoulders with violent fascists. Have the day you deserve on your couch, Noah.
