I haven’t read their whole manifesto, once the idiotic terms are stripped away, they have a point. Universities pay huge money to hire semi-pro athletes to “represent” their white schools on sports teams. The ones doing the hiring are mostly wealthy white men, as are most of those paying to attend the events. The Big Sports athletes are mostly black men. Some are nice kids exploiting their bodies and skills for scholarships or a shot at the pro’s. Others are nice guys but intellectually deficient for a university. So colleges, run by rich white men, look aside to let many athletes pretend to be students. The sham students get scholarships, take sham classes, then drop out without degrees. The idea that most of these “students” are getting a valuable education in exchange for playing is baloney). If the teams win, rich white alumni get a self-esteem boost. So when the sham sees daylight, we are all Shocked, Shocked. Self-righteous hypocrisy at its finest.

Why not change that so that the big money-making sports (i.e., football and basketball) players are actually paid a wage and not expected to attend college? I can’t be the first person to come up with that idea, especially since I’m not at all into sports.

White kids play college basketball and football? Could’ve fooled me. All I ever see is black kids on the field.
