While I didn't faint, it was almost impossible to believe that, for once, March Madness ended with two white-friendly teams in the finals. I've been following sports since the mid-1960s, and this is the just about the most attractive matchup I can ever remember in an NCAA championship game.
I have so much respect for the white players on Duke and Butler, who survived the most blatant double standards imaginable; enduring constant illegal "contact" on the part of black defenders, while being whistled by the refs nearly every time they attempted to reciprocate and play some of that "aggressive" defense. Yesterday, Gordon Hayward was called for traveling twice as he drove to the basket, and later Kyle Singler was called for it once. In reality, of course, EVERY black player takes more liberties with that rule than they did, EVERY time they touch the ball.
During the past week, I heard several jock sniffers on talk radio, and a few on ESPN as well, discussing how "Duke always gets the calls." Only in Don King's America could a group of white "journalists" publicize what is clearly another wild black conspiracy theory, as if it had any merit whatsoever. I'm normally attuned to almost any conspiracy theory, but that one turns reality on its head, and stems from the irrational and apparently bottomless well of African-American pride and self-esteem. We all know that teams with more white players are held to different, unfair standards by game officials, and that it naturally, adversely affects their play.
Jerry West's kid is on the WV roster. Of course, he never plays for coach Thuggie Bear. I hope that Jerry West is happy about that, but I actually suspect he is, after watching him giggle like a school girl on that "Outside The Lines" show last year that examined the lack of white Americans in the NBA. He's probably jealous it wasn't him, lying on the floor in a missionary position over an emotional black afflete. At any rate, every DWF in this country must be truly distraught right now- it contradicts everything they've ever been taught. Expect to hear that the t.v. ratings are way down for the championship game.
