One of America's, perhaps, fatal addictions is to sports. Those team-
against-team contests substitute for our innate instincts to either
FIGHT when threatened… or to run away. A victory by one's favorite
team in some sport will cause an emotional rush that's analogous to
defeating a determined rival who had wished to take your life. By
remaining alive after the fight, there's surely euphoria to be
experienced.
The world over, soccer is the most-followed sport. The all-out speed
of the players in those games grabs the emotions of people with soccer
addiction. The 'draw' to watch live soccer is so strong that dozens
of spectators sometimes get trampled to death in the rush to get good
seats, or in the rush to get onto the field after a game. By
successfully doing the latter, the fans get to feel closer to the
surrogates who just fought 'their' life-or-death battle. The strong
team identity of the many fans, allows them to experience the victory,
vicariously, as though each one of them had been the person who just
made the winning goal. That's not all… 'bad'. But it's behavior that
takes too much time away from much-needed, higher-minded pursuits.
The late tennis great, Arthur Ashe—a Black—lamented the effect that
'sports' have on Blacks, and others as well. He was well aware that
for every Black who reaches high success in some sport, there are tens
of thousands pinning their life-hopes on becoming a… 'great', too. In
the name of basketball, young Black men, all across America, are
devoting more time to shooting hoops at parks and in recreation
centers, than they devote to finding and keeping jobs. In a direct
way, sports are a contributing cause of the, now, overt socialism that
is sweeping this country. Mass-mindedness and crowd/team-mindedness
are close cousins. But inside the voting booths, mass-mindedness of
any kind is the antithesis of principles of democracy. The latter
champions the wills of the individuals. The former champions the
socialist will of particular groups (or teams).
Barack Obama, the Anti-Christ, placates his block-voting Black core
constituents by allowing himself to be photographed playing
basketball, whenever possible. Obama also likes to emulate Tiger
Woods, a hero to Blacks, by being recorded playing golf at every
opportunity. For too many Blacks, if… 'sports' are fine, then, the
country must be fine, too. The predominantly Black 45% of Americans
who rate Obama OK as president, are surely using the wrong standards
to make that judgment. As long as Obama looks suave and unaffected in
his custom tailored suits; and as long as he can read his
teleprompters in his pathological and unemotional way, Blacks will
continue to think things are fine.
In every public school across America, teams are organized to play
sports. It's more than just needed 'physical exercise' for the
students. It's the early indoctrination, of the masses, into
lifetimes of sports addiction that has ZERO place as part of any
education program! Education develops minds. Sports develops
mindlessness. But not-to-worry… my New Constitution doesn't say one
word that would in any way limit sports within our education
programs. But I, as an individual, propose the following: Continue
to allow the playing of those sports that have wide enough interest to
be 100% financed by the TICKETS that are sold to the games. As at
present, the players can be drawn from either current students who are
enrolled at the school, or from graduates of the school who are not
yet age 18.
Streamlining education demands that at least two years be cut from
public education. Stand-outs on high school teams are the ones who go
on to be part of college ball teams. So, lowering the years of public
education to age 16, maximum, would mean that some of the students
would be too physically immature to immediately play college ball. To
solve the latter problem, college teams should be composed of students
who are age 18 to 23 and already GRADUATED from the college or
university! That way, having academic success leading to graduation
will be behind the players. Graduates of a college or university
would be eligible to play for the team for the next four years. And
the pro teams would begin making their selections of players by the
same ages as before, and using similar criteria.
Personally, I think it's a travesty that more than 15% of high school
graduates are being made to go through-the-mill of higher education.
*** Most diplomas that are awarded aren't worth the paper they are
printed on! Even so, too many feel justified in graduating, because
every 'graduate' will be an alumna or alumnus for life, and will be
entitled to cheer for the teams as 'their' team. Sadly, sports is
more important than education… and for most, more important than any
public issues like: Fixing our broken government, and saving the USA
from creeping socialism. Folks, those are facts of life. But
hopefully… some way, some how, we can find and encourage better uses
of our time and resources than the BILLIONS of hours and multi-
billions of dollars that are essentially being wasted every year on
our collective addictions to… team sports.
