in the case of sports, athletes are held up as shining examples of physical accomplishment; a symbol of pride for the power of one's people. so, since white people have traditionally held the power in America, one way to decrease a sense of pride and a group identity of "whiteness" is to create a new, "better" athlete. in this case, the myth of black athletic supremacy.
Great post!
I'm firmly convinced that if the NFL and NBA were never integrated, sports' salaries would be much less ridiculous today. I don't even need to waste my time getting into the issue of endorsements.
In order to advance the agenda, the "better" athlete (mostly black NBA and NFL) needed more compensation in an attempt to "prove" (to the public) just how "superior" he really is. To go along with that, many advertisements are clearly portraying blacks as invincible.
Yes, TODAY'S NHL Athlete can make very good money, but if there wasn't the outrageous salaries (another attempt at pushing black supremacy) in the overwhelmingly black NBA and NFL, I'm convinced that NHL and MLB salaries would be significantly lower.
Look at the absolutely ridiculous contract that Adonal Foyle got (from the Golden State Warriors) some years back. How can you explain something like that?? And, some people think that Andris Biedrins' new contract is extreme!!
Please... If it comes down to performance, Biedrins' should receive 20-times the contract that Foyle got!
With NBA and NFL salaries the way they are, the "powers" have little interest in increasing the number of White players' -- because "privileged" Whites just don't deserve that kind of compensation.
There isn't much money in Strongman, and that's one reason I respect those guys more. Although, I think there should be a little more money introduced into the prize pools.
There's nothing to like about "spoiled" and "pampered" athletes. The DWF's are REALLY REALLY drunk....
