The Kaepernick situation was the crack in the wall of the value of pro sports as a consumer

Imagine this.


Grown men. Begging. To play. a game. That does nothing for anyone watching.

see this is why I can’t rock with this.



This racist ass coach falls on the sword for the rest of them in this league of racists and racist sports analysts and structures and even racist cultures of team dynamics…and you want more if it? Seems like we are doomed with this anchor of sports.

After all this. These men have no skills except the adoration of millions who themselves would waste time on this shyt.

I can’t even watch football knowing the physical costs anymore. It’s not enjoyable when I know how owners are all borderline racists. NBA players are just high paid athletes. I can only slightly enjoy soccer knowing how the teams are funded by deep pocketed sociopaths.


Dudes watching ESPN ALL DAY? Quoting stats. Comparing analysis.

I don’t even agree with how Kaepernick let it play out. I wish he’d have gone to law school too with his settlement. I hope he will in the future.

But even he was still trying to get his job back.

These games have a grip on us in the most unproductive ways.

the kaepernick situation was like finally unplugging from the matrix. You had to really look at yourself and ask if you really wanted your reflection of your time and your identity to be wrapped up in this shyt.

Well...

Kaepernick has a docu series/movie coming out, charities, started a publishing company, ice cream (his portion is donated to Know Your Rights Camp), Nike deal, etc. He turned a L to a W in my opinion.
Eh. It’s just More entertainment bullshyt. I wanted to see him commit to real change and challenging real systems. A documentary is a 2 hour escape from reality.

Americas lust with being consumers brought us here.. Sports was cool when it was just T.V scheduled games, a 30 minute ESPN sports segment afterwards, and reading a sports illustrated..

Now its 24/7 in your face with these entertainers.. All of that took away from the enjoyment of sports..
