I don't know how anyone, especially from CF could watch anything like that. The emphasis on racial guilt mongering in every sports special about sport in the old days has made it impossible for me to enjoy it. Here's a couple of examples.
I like vintage baseball and used to look forward to any specials about baseball back in the day. Not any more, they're just propaganda for the bad old days when white people wanted to be left alone to just associate with other white people and not have "people of dark color" around.
I was watching something on the baseball channel about baseball in the forties and they had this great interview with Ted Williams in his air force uniform and they were talking about his war experiences. I thought that Williams had to be one of the baddest dudes that ever lived. He was hands down the best hitter in the game and he just up and left and went into the air force to fly planes and risk getting his ass shot off. And not only that he did it TWICE.
So they spend a couple of minutes showing Williams, a true hero in every sense of the word, and then cut short to-you guess who, the REAL hero to the cultists--Jackie Robinson. The program then turns to the 9 millionth telling of the story of how Robinson overcame all of this tremendous racism to open the doors so that ungrateful angry black guys could get paid to play baseball.
In all of the stories of HORRIBLE UNRELENTING RACISM that have been told about Robinson, Mays, Aaron, Robinson (again), etc. it occurred to me that there was never an actual act of violence. Hell Ty Cobb was in fights all of the time with other players and fans, what about these guys? As far as I can tell the worst they had to deal with was insults. Yeah, fans probably called them n*gger, or coon, or sambo, and gave them a hard time once in a while. And sure in the minors they had to eat at separate places once in a while. Big deal, some heroism. It seems to me they had unqualified support from their employers and most of their fellow teammates. I bet they had it better then Peyton Hillis has it at the bottom of the pile after a tackle with 5 steroid and drug pumped up ghetto thugs on top of him.
And it's not just TV. You can go on any, I mean ANY baseball blog and get the same unquestioning worship of all things black and the revisionist history along with it. I was reading on a popular blog about the Hall of Fame. The discussion turned to who is the most deserving player not in the Hall. That is always an excuse for the DWFs to look at the black guy with the best stats that is still not in the Hall. It used to be Jim Rice, but they "fixed" that, right now that guy is **** "don't call me Ritchie" Allen.
Allen was a good hit, no field, bad attitude black player from the sixties/seventies. He had some pretty good numbers during a pitchers era so the stat geeks go on and on about his OBP and WAR and other such crap. Bill James, the stat nerds patron saint, in a rare moment of racial honesty wrote an article a few years back of how Ritchie Allen did more to screw up his teams records due to his bad attitude then any person in the history of baseball except for Rogers Hornsby.
Allen was a drunk and had a bad attitude. He got into a fight with (white) veteran player Frank Thomas in the mid sixties over some "racial incident" supposedly Thomas called Johnny Briggs "boy" and Allen objected. He swung at Thomas near the batting cage and Thomas hit him with the bat he was holding. The Phillis cut Thomas the next day (there's that antiblack racism by white people at work again :dodgy
Anyone who tells the story goes on to say that you just don't ever, ever, swing a bat at someone, that's the unwritten rule of baseball, and if you do you are done in baseball. OK then explain how Juan Marichal can hit catcher John Roseboro with a bat, during a game no less, and go on to play another 10 years?
Anyway everybody that is interviewed today about Ritchie Allen remembers the incident as "Frank Thomas = bad--**** Allen = good" what a surprise. Also anyone still alive that played with him remembers him as the greatest guy ever!!! Racial problems? What are you talking about? Ritchie, excuse me, ****. was a "team leader" a good influence on the team. And if there were any problems it was because he had to face all of that unrelenting racism when he wasn't getting paid top salaries and being treated like royalty. The same unquestioning revisionist history that is used in every narative the MSM tells.
So I think I'll skip the "Struggles, sactifices, and triumphs of African-Americans in professional football." I think I know how it goes.
