could be reflected in his
willingness to leave it, opening up
a spot for someone healthier,
rather than by a determination to
stay at all costs.
Yes, his decision was made
easier by his massive fortune; his
2016 extension with the Colts was
worth $140 million. Not every
laborer who works a knee-
brutalizing job can afford to limp
away from their livelihoods. “I

HESSE FROM C1 have family working in steel mills

... cops... teachers making far
less and this guy is ‘tired’.... my
backside,” wrote ESPN radio host
Dan Dakich.
Anyway, I’m going to stop
talking about Luck for a minute.
Partly because I’ve run out of all
the factoids I Googled about him.
But also because the backlash
Luck received from a vocal
minority of fans reminded me of a
speech President Trump gave
earlier this month in Pittsburgh.

While the ostensible topic was

energy policy, the speech quickly

became an extemporaneous

lecture on jobs — and specifically,

what kinds of jobs men should

have.

“You don’t want to make

widgets, right? You don’t want to

make... a little tiny piece of stuff,”

the president said, as he mimicked

dainty hand motions. “You put it

with those big, beautiful hands of

yours like... you’re going to go

home, ‘Alice this is a tough job.’

Nah, you want to make steel, and

you want to dig coal — that’s what

you want to do!”

Real men, he was implying,

should want jobs that leave them

dirty and tired at the end of the

day. They should want physical

jobs, sweaty jobs, jobs with a lot of

pain involved.

It was a limiting view of men’s

work, but it was one that also

appears frequently in my inbox,

usually after I’ve written anything

about masculinity. To my

knowledge, I’ve never been

emailed by a professional football

player, but I’ve heard from

multiple cops, factory workers,

maybe a steel-mill worker or two.

Men who are, like Dakich’s

relatives, also on their feet all day

and are in a lot of pain. Back

spasms. Sciatica. The kind of pain

that thrums in the background,

while they shove their feet into ice

buckets and just get on with it.

As the pain builds, so too does

these men’s belief that it all must

mean something. The pain is what

allows them to feed their families,

so they have come to see it as a

marker of their self-worth — they

are men, they tell me, because

they are willing to be in pain every

day and not complain about it.

“I’m proud of not being a sissy,”

one reader memorably wrote,

after sharing a list of maladies

he’d gritted his teeth through over

the course of a career. “It’s what

men do.”

There’s something terribly

troubled about a society that

convinces men that this is “what

they do.” That puts workers in jobs

that break their bodies, and

convinces them that the

brokenness is a sign that they’re

doing it right. That sees speaking

up as weakness and pushing

through as a necessity.

The revolutionary thing about

Luck’s retirement is that he said

what men are not supposed to say.

He said he was in pain. He said the

pain was hurting him.

Football is a sport that

epitomizes American masculinity,

and here was one of its stars

saying he didn’t want to live like

this forever — that he didn’t think

life should be this way.

He said what should be easier

for a lot of men to say. I don’t know

a dang thing about football, but I

know he said something that

should be easier for all men to say.

Surrendering to pain is daring

for men. But it shouldn’t be.
