Nothing you say here is substantiated. Why is it bad to laud hackers? Why is the term "athlete" more "stupid" than "hacker?" How do sports cartoons make the "parody" less conspicuous?
On you final note, both 42floors and Jason Freedman are real entities:

I don't understand why you think the name Jason Freedman is suspicious. The name Jason is common. The name Freedman is common. God forbid they appear in tandem and vaguely resemble the name of another entrepreneur.
This piece doen't read as a prank in any discernible way. It might be preaching to the choir to an extent, but it's not suspicious.
- dumb-typist 14y agoThere's nothing inherently bad about lauding hackers. But the essay as published said, "Athletes are always making things; they can't help themselves". That makes no sense. What makes some sense is if someone started with text about hackers, and substituted the word "athletes". The term "athlete" is not a stupid term. But substituting it for "hacker" sometimes produces absurd results.
