My son and I went to the Georgia Tennessee football game. Both of his degrees are from UT and he decided on neutral colors since we were in the UGA president’s box.
The game was a throwback to Georgia’s racist past! They called it a black out! That was what it was when I went to school there in the 1960s. No black athlete played on the Georgia campus during my four years. The football team only played one game against a team with black players when they played Michigan in Ann Arbor my junior year. A total black out during those years and they wanted to go back? No Herschel Walker? No Champ Bailey? No Richard Seymour? But wait! If it was a blackout then why were all those black kids on the field? Then I found out that a blackout meant that the fans were to wear black! Black out? Never mind.
At the game a student was to kick a field goal and if successful would get two tickets to the UMass game. If he missed the field goal, he would get four tickets.
ESPN is hopelessly woke. It fired all its conservative commentators (Sage Steele, David Pollack, Samantha Ponder, Will Cain) plus 17 other on air personalities. Somehow, the totally obnoxious Stephen A. Smith is still around and as verbose as ever. Never say one word when 30 will do Stephen A,
They even once brought back the excretable Keith Olbermann.
I no longer watch Sport Center or any ESPN except selected college football games. I don’t look at anything else.
The ESPN app is also woke. It leads with the scores of women’s NCAA basketball and WNBA. Not the NFL or NCAA football but women’s college basketball. I’m sure that most of its viewers are more interested in women’s basketball than football. Give me a break.
My fifth wheel came with a Vizio “smart” TV. It has built in apps but not MLB tv. In its search function it still doesn’t list MLB. I contacted Vizio and they said they don’t offer MLB and I would have to mirror MLB from my cell phone. I replaced it with a Fire TV.
A recent poll revealed that ninety percent of white conservatives said that this is the greatest country. Seventy percent of Latinos and 60 percent of blacks agreed. But only 30 percent of white progressives agreed. Why would the rest of us want these clowns to run the country? I wonder what country the progressive say is the greatest or do they just trash them all? Again I asked my progressive friends to tell me how they would change this country to make it into their ideal. Thus far no responses. I think they are just happy whining.
Did you hear Chuck Schumer’s speech after the republicans gained control of the Congress and the presidency? Here it is:
“If we want in the next four years in the Senate to be as productive as the last four, the only way that will happen is through bipartisan cooperation.
Democrats will be ready to do what we have consistently done: work with both sides when the opportunity arises.
Democrats will never abandon our values, but neither will we reject the opportunity to move the ball forward to make people’s lives better when we can.
The question is now whether or not Republicans are willing to do the same. To my colleagues on the other side, once again: do not abandon bipartisanship. It’s the best and most effective way to get things done.”
Huh? What bipartisanship? Schumer is saying “please don’t do to us what we have done to you the past 4 years”
Hopefully the DEI grift will be shelved for a while – at least at the national level. While progressive governments and the far left teachers’ unions will still spew their hate of other white folk, maybe the nonsense will be slowed down at the federal level. There is zero evidence that DEI indoctrination (training) works. There is considerable evidence that it fosters resentment instead. Yet the grifters have earned millions from spreading around their hate. Again why do white progressives hate white people? DEI is used in our schools to excuse the inability of woke teachers to teach. Instead of teaching kids to read, write and do arithmetic, students are told that they are incapable of academic greatest because of their color. I am always amused by black progressives with Ivy League educations telling their inner city brothers that they are somehow inferior. Maybe the progressives have been secretly funded by racists not to teach.
A friend of mine was an Army Ranger in Viet Nam. He told me that his grandson was being recruited by the service academies. He said that he really did not want him to go into the military under the current regime that emphasized DEI rather than combat readiness. The same is true for military families who are discouraging their children from joining the military.
I marvel at the damage done to the fabric of the country over the past 4 years. Didn’t the left realize that the majority of Americans were opposed to their policies? What is particularly interesting is that the progressive left imposed their policies on the rest of us while ignoring it themselves. DEI. How many conservatives are in college’s sociology departments? How many minority neighbors do white progressives have? Where do the progressives send their children to school? The left is made up of a bunch of hypocrites and the rest of us know it.
