At least one benefit from the current situation is the death of pro sports, which cannot come fast enough. It bestows fabulous rewards on the 65 IQ crowd. Otherwise, exactly what skills do they have to meet the needs of the modern world? Other than manual labor, none.

This is the amusing end-result...at least for the NBA and NFL players. If they did finish with a degree, it’s a marginal-value situation and they’d be lucky to get a real estate license after the smoke clears.

MLB might be different. Baseball might survive in Latin America (without all the blm business). You’d just have to accept a lot less pay as part of the landscape.

Speaking of manual labor, keep digging, George.

Vicarious thrill of dunking a basketball in the face of the guy next to you? Then hooting and howling about it (IOW, without the sportsmanship).

My "racist" Grandpa used to say, "Them N****** sure can sing & dance, and they are really good with a basketball!"

Today's leftist press/politician glorifies the same skills my Grandpa observed, rather than lauding Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Larry Elder, or accomplished Blacks from the past such as George Washington Carver.
