I was with him until the Yazdani comment.  Why wouldn't Yazdanis underhooks also be from God.  Sorry rhetorical question 

Weird because I thought god made us in his image according to Brooks’ book of fairy tales

He didn't say Yazdani's were not from God.  He said "I don't know who gave those to Yazdani."  It is possible that God gave them to Yazdani and Brooks is simply unaware of that fact.

I will be interested to see Brooks' reaction when he gets to heaven and God says, "I had nothing to do with those underhooks."  It always amazes me that some people think God cares about sports. On the other hand, maybe God sits on his couch every Sunday during NFL season, cracks open a cold one, and swears at the officials.

Actually he said “my undertook comes from the Holy Spirit, so it’s a little different from Yazdani’s”. 

When Pyles asked him again he said “God gave me these under hooks. I don’t know who gave those to Yazdani, maybe a club coach, um a long time friend”.

He’s is pretty clearly insinuating that Yazdani’s beliefs are inferior.

Most people think Starocci is the cocky one who opens his mouth too much. But Brooks is much worse because he presents himself as pious and humble but then throws these underhanded insults, constantly bringing up his faith and making sure everyone knows that he thinks other beliefs are beneath his.

At least Starocci keeps it about competition.

They're all the bloody same, aren't they? Born agains say I don't believe in Jesus, so I'll go to hell. Jews say I do believe in Jesus, I'll go to Hell. Catholics say I don't believe in the pope, I'll go to Hell. So any way you look at it, I'm in the shit

Religious zealots are the same. If you don't believe the way they do you are wrong.  I am Luthern (ELCA).  One of my beliefs is that maybe God presents himself differently to different people, who am I to judge.  I in no way believe God wants me to win more than another person or even cares if I win or lose a wrestling match. He gives me strengths and talents, but it is up to me to optimize them.  For instance, he may give me athleticism, but I have to transfer that into good underhooks (and most likely with the help of a good coach and good training partners).

Brooks has no idea what he's talking about-it's sad to see such ignorance on display.  Everybody knows God prefers overhooks. No false prophet, no underhooks. 

 

Also something that I've been wondering-we already saw from Tebow that God is a huge football fan in the fall (and not a fan of the forward pass). It's clear from so many wrestlers that his winter sport is wrestling..What sport does he watch in the Spring?

I am a HUGE fan of Aaron Brooks saying crazy religious stuff in interviews.  Give me more of it!  It is must watch, so much better than just thanking a generic god in a generic way.  If Yazdani ever wrestles him and wins then I would like nothing more than for Yazdani in his post match interview thank his God and point out some false Christian belief.  Call the Holy Spirit a false god.

Exactly! Would Yazdani dispute this statement? It is my understanding that Muslims so not believe the Holy Spirit to be God.  Yazdani himself is unlikely to believe that his under hook is derived from the Holy Spirit.  Brooks is more likely to get pushback from Christians on this point than Muslims.

Correct.  Aaron Brooks believes the Holy Spirit to be God.  This is the same thing to Aaron Brooks.  I doubt Yazdani would say that the Holy Spirit gave him under hooks.  He might say that God did, but that is probably a little different than what Brooks intended given the earlier statement.

Isn't this how religions work?  Are there actually Christians that think that the Islamic belief that Jesus of Nazareth was not a God is as valid/more valid/superior to their own belief that Jesus Christ is God?  Are there Muslims that think the Christian belief that Jesus Christ was the son of God to be as valid/more valid/superior to their own belief that he was merely a prophet of Allah?

Are there major world religions that don't have conflicting beliefs?  It would seem to me that if anyone accepted all teachings of any major religion as true that would result in a logical conclusion that some central belief of a competing religion is false.  Should athletes only talk about aspects of their religion that don't conflict with other major religions at press conferences?

Dude's a complete clown with his religion comments. His underhooks come from God yet Yazdani's are from a club coach or friend...? His delusion is real - why would any God have such a vested interest in making sure Mr Aaron Brooks wins wrestling matches?

If you think what I’m criticizing is the accuracy of Brook’s comments , or that one religious point of view is more or less valid than another then you miss the point.

I think you think that Brooks is wrong about something.  I'm not exactly sure what.  I'd imagine it is something you feel was implied by his statements.

I really wish when Brooks says these crazy things in interviews they would ask him follow up questions and go down the rabbit hole a bit rather than trying to steer things back on course.  For example Brooks said "I don’t know who gave those to Yazdani, maybe a club coach, um a long time friend”. I would have liked Pyles to ask "I noticed you didn't list God/the Holy Spirit as a possible source of Yazdani's under hooks.  Is that because you ruled them out as a potential source of his under hooks?". And when he said they were different I'd like to see him asked how they are different?  Are they more effective?  Less effective?

That's a great way to make sure nobody answers your calls for interviews again in the future, lol.

It sounds like you just want to see some drama. If that’s the case, then yeah, pushing more of the religious stuff will get you what you want.

 

Who doesn't like a big drama show? 

Pyles dropped the ball to follow up questions on a few things in this interview.  Going back to the original topic of this thread Brooks says "We discussed that ahead of time.  I think it was at the Olympic Trials in 2021 when they really realized okay a lot of our guys are going to be competing with each other in the finals.  So I think a free that because they didn't really discuss it before then and some stuff happened some controversy.  So I think now they are like okay let's just be realistic let's figure this out ahead of time so we're not doing somebody dirty like we did at the Olympic Trials."   How does Pyles not try and get him to expand on how someone was done dirty?

Yeah, I didn't really think the religion was as cringey as other interviews, except for the underhook comment.

Saying his coaches "did someone dirty" is much juicier IMO...
