The Manifesto

I Am Not Your Bro

 

Call me a hater.  Call me a buzzkill.  Call me an old man.  But don’t call me a bro.  I’m not a bro.  I’m not your bro, I’m a bad bad man.

 

I’m in Bro rehab.  This is my first step.  Usually the first step in a rehab process is admitting that you are what you detest the most: A broholic.  This is a new rehab program.  I made it out of necessity.  So the one thing I can admit is that I was a bro.  I’m not, but I was.

 

The first step in my rehab is admission.  So consider this my confession.

 

I broke a lot of inanimate objects.  I said a lot of hurtful things.  I did a lot of things I am not proud of.  I was a bro.  I had long hair.  Before it was cool to have long hair.  I had the king of all long hairstyles.  The mullet.  I was business in the front and party in the back.  Sure I was 14, but still.

 

I did all of these horrible things because I thought it was cool to do them.  Not because I played lacrosse.

 

But playing lacrosse was part of it.  I know that now.

 

My fellow lacrosse players.  I say this because you must know what it is to be free.

 

The Bro movement must die for us to live.
