Kudos, Josh Hawley.
Who really cares about this? It is nothing more then a side show to distract from all of our money they are squandering.
BAKER: … Because we’re a national governing body and we follow federal law.
KENNEDY: That’s what you’re there for. Why don’t you stand up and say in front of God and country, ‘Federal law is wrong, and the NCAA believes in fair competition’? … Why don’t you go to Amazon and buy a spine online and take a stand?
Kennedy isn't wrong. But he isn't right either. It's the federal government making bad decisions. Any organization that goes against federal law is going to be sued. And they will lose. Courts have decided this already -- 5 times!! But Kennedy says the federal government is wrong, and it's up to Baker to fix the federal government by trying to get his organization sued. That's just stupid.
Congress needs to pass a law that will be recognized by the federal courts.
Baker is probably a jerk, and probably should have done more to promote fairness. But the people in congress (like Kennedy) have the big role to play here.
If I cared about the NCAA I would be concerned.
That man Baker was pitiful. He is not going to fare too well when he goes up against President Trump with his arguments.
Surely the money behind the NCAA must be looking for an exit ramp.
I’ll bet Amazon is working on getting a line of spines for sale. They sell everything else. They’ll be Chinese spines however.
NCAA is a cabal.
Dissolve the NCAA and start over with straight administrators.
BTTT
“Why don’t you go to Amazon and buy a spine online and take a stand?”
And then send the link to elected republicans. This is the best they got, berating some official and producing YouTube videos. I am certain when these guys vote for the next continuing resolution, there will be plenty of funding for the mental illness lobby.
This is a little off topic but the thought just popped into my brain; how funny would it be to get a DIE black female general or admiral in front of a Senate committee and ask them, “In this era of equal opportunity, why weren’t there any females on the field at the Army Navy football game last weekend?” I bet you would see heads exploding all over the place.
I do believe the House and Senate is made up of actors. They all have their role to play. Lambasters, ridiculers, debaters, antagonists, even a comic are seen just about every day doing nothing but talking. Those same people are then presented to us on Sundays in the talk shows.
We have been and are being played, big time, by these “entertainers”!!
You’ll just have to return it.
Get your real spines from Jesus. Cross-mounting spines!
They need to clarify one very important fact in the debate they are not even close to correct in, and that’s the reason they are debating. In the article coming from Kennedy:
“...your job is to promote fairness in collegiate sports...”
No it is not! When you consider the reason for a college education is to train people for employment in the outside world, and that very few athletes ever get the opportunity to compete at the higher level, then is sports fullfilling the premise that it is a training for the future? This isn’t like computer sciences, teaching, construction, or the medical field which offers thousands of jobs annually.
Athletics as in game players is an effort to support the colleges with money earned by attendance and TV contracts to buy test tubes in the chem department and text books while supporting itself. It is big dollars and has very little to do with educating. There are degrees in the Phys ed side but they are in the scientific side of the business based on health and welfare or even organizing a recreational league and not a professional one. But those degrees are also expensive. The starting salary for NCAA President Charlie Baker is $2.8 million a year when the average annual salary for an American is $63,795. And just like congress, they vote their own raises each year.
So the misconception of what amatuer sports in college is remains the mystery of where it has gone and not what it does to get it there. Trangenderism is not a problem, it is a tool to hide the real graft. The art of misdirection.
