I neglected to include the link to Brandin's
PFR career page:
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CookBr00.htm

His twitter & instagram pages indicate
that he's into promoting the supposed
be-all end-all magical being (god) that
(under many different names with each
having its own versions of magical being
stories) religions foist on children in a ...

.... perpetual cycle that (thus far) contin-
ues with fantasies about after-death
existences (of happiness or torment)
that have nary an iota of proof, all of
them requiring "blind faith" to ...

.... allegedly get a pleasant immortality
& allegedly avoid an unpleasant (to put
it mildly) eternal torment.

Get real.

https://www.age-of-the-sage.org/quotations/quotes/richard_dawkins_god.html

"We are all atheists about most of the gods
that societies have ever believed in. Some
of us just go one god further."

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably
the most unpleasant character in all fiction:
jealous & proud of it; a petty, unjust, unfor-
giving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty
ethnic cleanser, a misogynistic, homophobic,
racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, ...

.... pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomaso-
chistic, capriciously malevolent bully."

Unstated: His supposed only begotten son,
Jesus, a concoction of fantasies & note
that despite the pro-human aspects of that
fictitious character, keep in mind he's the
supposed son of the character mentioned
above.

As for the downsides of religion, & just one
example of the adverse impact it can have
on people, I just saw episode 5 of the TV
show "1923", & it had one of the most hor-
rific murders I've ever seen, a murder com-
mitted by a religious promoter (who's evil):

the Paramount+ series 1923
https://static.outsider.com/uploads/2023/02/Leenah-Robinson-as-Baapuxti-in-1923.jpg

[Teonna, beaten & raped by 2 nuns, she
murders those nuns, & runs away from
the religious institution she & her friend
Baapuxti, 2 Indian girls, are held at to be
indoctrinated with religion along with
other Indian girls]

After her escape is discovered, Teonna’s
friend, Baapuxti (Leenah Robinson) is sub-
ject to brutal beatings by Father Renaud
(Sebastian Roché) as he attempts to dis-
cover where Teonna has gone.

“Home…” Baapuxti weeps in response after
being tied to a chair and beaten repeatedly.
But this is not a satisfactory answer for the
sadistic head priest. Renaud continues to
savagely beat the young girl, resulting in a
threat to “send her to God” himself.

To this, Baapuxti replies in Crow: “I am Otter
from the Kills Many Clan. My cousin will reach
our home. And then the Kills Many Clan will
come to kill you.”

Renaud, outraged, sends her to the ground
once more with a heavy fist, then stomps her
to death.

HORRIFIC

Just for grins, including Cowboys ex-receiver
Amari Cooper in the following reply, for com-
parison to Brandin Cooks purposes, their car-
eers have been very similar in many respects,
not all:
