That’s simply not true. I have dealt with a number of companies — even big ones whose names you would recognize — that are absolutely not “bottom-line” businesses.

I honestly couldn’t tell you what either of these two people do for a living.

One moves around like a slut on stage pretending to be a legit singer (Beyonce). The other (JZ) I think is a rap "artist".

El Che: The Crass Marketing of a Sadistic Racist

By Mike Gonzalez

(snip)

Che Guevara was a racist who specifically held blacks in contempt.

I think about this often when I see deluded young African-Americans wearing a t-shirt with his likeness. ..."

As for Guevara's views on race, he did not mince words. After the Revolution's victory in 1959, he famously said, "We're going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing."

And no, it wasn't just hard feelings over how Cuban blacks had supported the biracial dictator Fulgencio Batista. With Guevara it was more of a conviction, as we can glean from another quote.

Speaking of blacks he [Che] said: "The ***** is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent." ..."

> I can’t argue with him on that. I love the race car analogy.

And those race cars make a whole lotta money for what they do. Maybe the NFL should start paying all the players <$1M and they might shut their mouths. Save the NFL a whole lotta money too.

When Kaepernick wore that T-shirt with Fidel Castro on it, that pretty much erased whatever legitimate point he had. Does Kaepernick realize what Fidel Castro did to Cuba, A place that could have been easily the most prosperous country in the entire Caribbean?

Contrast him with the young Miami Marlins baseball pitcher who was killed in a boating accident less than a week ago.

Jose Fernandez -the NL Rookie of the Year in 2013 - came to the United States by boat as a 15-year-old Cuban refugee in 2008. Along the way, he rescued his mother, who had fallen overboard.

However, his beloved grandmother, who Fernandez calls a “baseball freak,” was left behind.

“She’s the love of my life... my everything,” Fernandez said.

The day before winning the Rookie of the Year Award, a shocked Fernandez was reunited with his grandmother in Florida with help from Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria.

the league sees them like race cars, doing just enough to keep them in good shape to perform, then dropping them once they're no longer on a roster.

In other words it's pretty much like every other successful for-profit enterprise on the surface of the planet.

If he wants to work for an employer who keeps dead weight and useless people on the payroll he should go to work for the federal government.

I agree. If anyone can explain to me how the NFL would function without capitalism....I’d be pleased to sit and hear their argument. But this is about as foolish as one can get.

No, not race cars.

Race cars don’t smile for the camera or have to interview or have to represent the “boss=NFL=particular team owner” in a positive way.

They (the original 1960s Black Panthers) were communist revolutionaries/domestic terrorists, same as the Black Liberation Army and Bill Ayers’ Weather Underground. All were Maoist to be precise.

Speaking of the murderous Black Liberation Army terror group, recall our president attended a *Black Liberation* Theology “church” for 20+ years. Obama referred to ‘reverend’ Jeremiah Wright, who married him and Michelle and baptized their kids, as his ‘spiritual adviser’.

BLT was/is a communist-concocted religious movement believed to have been created by the KGB.

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama's pastor in a heated interview about his Church's teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

Re: James Cone, founder of "Black Liberation Theology":

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a - reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

“He says that the league sees them like race cars, doing just enough to keep them in good shape to perform, then dropping them once they’re no longer on a roster.”

So, the alternative is what? Having 65 yo over paid jackasses tooling around in wheel chairs? There is one head coaching job for every roster, one general manager for every roster. Not counting for turnover i.e. those retiring, that is two spots for 53 people once a year. Since managers and GMs stay on board for far longer periods, the chances to move up the ladder are remote. Furthermore, some of these dolts would have to take a major pay cut to move into the rolls of assistants to whomever which they more than likely chose not to do.
