Interesting.. there are two black male individuals in my extended family (adopted) and years ago I started and I continually ask them if they are ever harassed by cops or pulled over or looked at funny when they go into stores. It's always been "no". And when I ask why they think that is with all this rampant stuff going on you know what I'm told? If that ever happens we do what we are asked!! End of story.
Money ruins everything even a simple game that kids in grade school can learn to play.
Now, in order to satisfy our empty lives, we have tribes/teams we can cheer for or get our frustrations out booing the other tribe.
My ex-daughter in law did not want to get pregnant during the football season because she wouldn’t be able to drink. 🍺
Happily the next wife had different priorities and we now have two adorable grandsons.
The only sports I was ever interested in were the ones I was playing, or the ones the kids were playing. Occasionally I’ll watch day 4 of a golf tournament but otherwise life is too full of other more interesting things to do.
Sports are a game. They teach us teamwork and how to lose gracefully-again my experience. When they get to the point where they are an obsession they are no different than any other narcotic, alcoholic drink, pursuit of money above all else—anything that distracts you from real life.
Balance is the key and our professional sports are way out of balance with what is good for us.
Edwin, I agree with you; however, this privilege spills over into politics, entertainment, sports, and business! The golden rule for these people is the man with the most gold makes the rules. We have always lived in a two-tiered justice system! We have a dementia-riddled pedophile who was installed and committed treason, and nothing happened to him!
Karl Denninger is one of the smartest men in the USA right now. I am reading his work since 2008 and rarely miss anything he writes. It is unbelieveable how much money these atheletes are paid to play a few games. And when they get money, it goes to their heads. They really think they are better than everyone and what applies to others, is not applicable to them. Just another sign of a society that is in its death throws.

Of course it's NEVER because the don't follow directions!
You can take them out of the jungle; but you can’t take the jungle out of them.
Tyreek’s display is very sad, there are no moral standards exemplified unless “Victimhood”has become sanctified
NFL is a Marxist propaganda machine. Fuck them.
