Given that I’m assigned to cover sports as delivered by TV, two recent developments have become dominant, repetitive themes:
1) If you don’t have a bet or bets on the games, you’re out of touch with sports, especially how they plan to sustain viewership and TV billions by suckering the young and vulnerable.
How would MLB now welcome Pete Rose to the Hall of Fame? “Come on in, Pete! Gambling on baseball is good!”

stop watching ESPN / cancel cable.
No boycotts - just make a clean break.
“White Privilege” is a higher IQ, better impulse control, better future time orientation, and more ability for abstract thinking. Individuals will vary, populations will not. Skin color never even enters into any of it.
Leftists do not really love science quite as much as they claim.
Mushnick is generally must read. he capsulizes the feelings of many — or former — sports fans. ESPN is part of the brainwashing mechanism that is underwhelming in content but serves its purpose in making the gullible stupid. The list is too lengthy to endure. Sports has fallen to the curb and squashed with scant exceptions by many of us. Sadly, cities will be celebrating championship teams once again and likely the ESPNs of the world will be saying phrases such a “healing process” and “uniting us all” when City X showers its millionaire ballers at some point when masks are mandatory and the sheep hug as if they accomplished something special.
Which explains why First Take’s ratings are about half of what they were a year ago.
tales of ‘white privilege’, is the format going to be like ‘Tales of Wells Fargo’ or ‘Story of the Century’?
White privelege = accepting responsibility.
The farther from the equator homo sapienes migrated, the less melanin and the greater the IQ. People had to get smarter to survive in a cold climate with four seasons.
White is not a race. Black is not a race. There is no scientific basis for race at all. It’s a social construct. Compare black Kenyan marathoners and black West-African sprinters. Both black, different adaptations. There is no such thing as “race.” Except that the term is useful to Communists who want to destroy our society.
“There is no scientific basis for race at all. It’s a social construct.”
Many communist sociologists have said so. Using the same strategy, those sociologists claim that gender is also a “social construct.”
Social construct or not, something caused Detroit to go from richest city in the world to 3rd world in 50 years. The characteristics of the population changed. Those characteristics could be broadly called “race.” Those groupings of characteristics are highly predictive of behavior in populations.
If it’s a social construct, it’s a useful one; it’s the one that Jesse Jackson wisely uses to cross the street when a group of black men is approaching.
The African-American culture in this country is one that has been deliberately sabotaged by the communists. The urban plantations were established as a result of Great Society legislation.
77% of all black children are born out of wedlock. 70% of black emryos are aborted. The African-American family must be restored and the urban plantation turned into Trump’s Opportunity Zones. Self-initiative and family-life must come back to the inner cities.
All of that would be a plus. All groups respond to incentives. Blacks were doing a lot better before they started getting “help” from the Great Society.
The incentives were destructive. They need positive incentives to keep Daddy home.
That can only happen by revoking the free government money and giving all such communities an ultimatum: Band together, form a society, live morally....or starve.
That was the old Lesser Society - now we have the Great Society. And good luck getting politicians who benefit from government wealth redistribution to turn off the spigot.
We are facing a demographic collapse. Maybe we should incentivize marriage and babies, regardless of background.
