National Premier Soccer League
Really popular in the US...
I’m taking my Hobbie Cat ‘16 up to Torch Lake next weekend and sailing for three days straight weather permitting.
Oh yeah. And a racist.
“But the most damning buried Guthrie biographical fact? That he was, just like his old man, a racist.
Having blacked up as a teenager in Okemah to perform a half-baked minstrel show, Guthrie while living in Echo Park took time out from championing oppressed white Okies to doodle his innumerable cartoons of what he described as jungle blacks, a group he also referred to as niggers, darkies, chocolate drops and, yes, monkeys.*
After encountering a group of African-Americans on Santa Monica Beach one day in 1937, Guthrie immortalized the meeting in a lengthy poem that included stanzas like, What is that Ethiopian smell / upon the Zephyrs, what a fright! and We could dimly hear their chants / and we thought the blacks by chance / were doing a cannibal dance.*
Broadcasting on Pasadena’s KFVD, Guthrie often indulged in on-air employ of ebonics and was stunned when a black listener characterized the singer as unintelligent after hearing Guthrie perform songs with titles like Run, Nigger, Run and Nigger Blues. Fortunately for Guthrie, recordings of these tunes do not survive.”

(Guthrie apologists are quick to point out that ——— was then in common usage. But its intended meaning was pejorative then and, yes, racist just as it is now.)

Charles Guthrie was reportedly involved in the 1911 lynching of Laura and L. D. Nelson.[12] (Woody Guthrie wrote three songs about the event in the 1960s. He said that his father, Charles, became a member of the Ku Klux Klan during its revived beginning in 1915.[12][13])
In Oklahoma.
What they are saying is they have no loyalty to the United States, but still see the United States land as theirs for the taking.
Beat me to it. His dad was also a klansman with a lot of land.
That song that the press was saying was about Donald Trump’s dad could’ve been more directed at Woody’s own father.
Goodbye soccer (whatever that is).
This list looks like the equivalent of the NAIA . . . teams that have no rhyme or reason except they couldn’t hang with the cool kids
Ribbon of highway, diamond deserts, blah, blah.
There’s a team where I live, and I had no clue they even existed. :)
“We live in a country that allows us to freely speak our voice.”
Oh, really? Say something like “all lives matter” and see what happens, you dumba$$.
Me too! When you click on the team logo there’s an assistant coach listed but nothing else. Obviously the league isn’t playing but you’d think last year’s info would be up, unless this is a historical list of all franchises that played at some point.
Never heard of it.
Mine had a roster.
He wasn’t a ‘Communist sympathizer’ he was an outright COMMUNIST!............
Being a good 'ol godless socialist (and a white supremacist to boot), Woody wrote this as an angry rejoinder. Guthrie, Burl Ives, Will Geer, and a few others were Communist sympathizers in the 1930's, back when the Depression was causing many to positively look at Communism (remember all those glowing reports of Stalin's Russia by Walter Duranty?).
Down in OK I would imagine that, “Jose can you see?” would be considered right neighborly.
Woody Guthrie was a communist and a massive black-hating racist.
Typical white hypocritical Democrat.
