I Guess It Depends On Your Definition Of Alternative Lifestyle

Breitbart.com posted an article today about NBC’s profile of young Olympian gold medal skier David Wise. David Wise is 23 years old. After stating that what led Wise to Olympic gold was his “alternative lifestyle,” NBC describes him as follows:

At such a young age, Wise has the lifestyle of an adult. He wears a Baby Bjorn baby carrier around the house. He also attends church regularly and says he could see himself becoming a pastor a little later down the road.

Not exactly the picture you had in mind while watching him nail two double corks wearing baggy pants. Wise is, well, wise. He knows where his head should be at all time, focused on being the best father and husband he can be.

This man has chosen to be a grown-up at an age when many of his peers are still acting as if they are in junior high. It is amazing to me that NBC considers a 23-year old assuming the responsibilities of adulthood as an ‘alternative lifestyle.” Maybe that says something about the maturity level at NBC.
