  • "The Torch Bearing Mob"

    Hits the nail on the head. Nerds wearing their morality on their sleeves and using the most important aspect of their lives, that of a 24-7 sports spectator, as their avenue to mount pulpit and deliver sermon. If they had been around at Salem, pre-sports, they would have been rounding up witches.

    It's not a matter of right and wrong. Good or bad. Moral or immoral. Legal or illegal.

    Our society has deemed athletes to be worthy of piles of cash and glory. This situation arising from the millions of nerds making it all the focus of their lives. And there are drugs to help the athlete get to the top. Now the nerds are preaching?

    Is one more way that purveyors of bullshit and hallucination can harken back to the "good ole days".

    Like I've said before, science needs to focus it's energy and technology to build a time machine so we can send the jerks back.

    The theatre of morality has been born and grown as blacks have dominated sports.

    It's kinda like the modern regulations instituted in college athletics-academics. Can you just imagine the ignorant hillbillies that played for Alabama and Georgia in 1940. Back then it was "He's one of our hosses, give him a C."

    Appears to be a high percentage white. It may not be a concerted effort or an official conspiracy but this entire fiasco in large measure could be viewed as whitey trying to keep up, and-or reclaim his former position on top.

    The "truth" can only be handed out in very small doses. And in many cases there is no truth. Anyone claiming to be dishing out truth every day, is simply a person with no respect for the truth.
