In spirits of the Superbowl, I decided to due a post upon it. Not really bout the teams, cause really I'm a Phins fan, and they're going to be there soon, but about the business of its entirety (of course as I sit back and not give a **** bout anything else, I will be rooting the underdog Cardinals).
On Chris Rock's stand-up special "Never Scared", Rock happens to say what NFL really stands for, "Nigga Fucking Large" (hilarious till the end), and to an extent I can qualify this true - except for all the white offensive line. As Rock exbounds himself on the topic, he calls the NFL the next form of slavery - from chains and a plantation, to the slave codes to continue oppression, and now sports of NFL and I'd like the NBA too, let's go one at a time. So since picking cotton out in the fields, some slaves were supposedly trained into super-slaves - larger, stronger, and quick as hell, and today we recruit these descendants to play for money.
Now how are they still slaves if they are making more money than the average Joe, and they have star power in the hood? That's easy, part of which is explained by Chris Rock, these football players are rich, not wealthy; the main difference is that a rich person can pay for excess things for the here and now, the person who signs their check, has money to last them their lives, their kids' lives, and their kids' kids' lives (gotta love that Andre 3-stacks lol). So in the form of money there is an obvious oppression, then in the form of material items oppression comes forth. A fancy car and spinning rims isn't cheap, along with that 52" LCD screen in every room, and nothing lasts forever. Basically, rich football players are at the mercy of the team's owner.
Yet they still have star-power, the fame, the glory. Fame and glory isn't all that when you're being attacked by mobs of fans, or stalked by a crazy. There are other set backs, ask O.J. Simpson, famed, got away with murder, yet can't keep his name out of the papers and into the hole he goes. There's also Plaxico Burress, a wide reciever for the Giants, shot himself in the leg, turned himself in, and still was chargeed criminally for holding an unregistered handgun. Michael Vick, the old QB for the Atlanta Falcons, was charged for holding dog fights in Virginia. Does this really seem to be sane behavior? These NFL players are being put back into slavery, where each and every mintue of their time is watched and known about.
The NFL does have its part in continuing slavery, but it also brings kids to come up with an inspiration, given a decent role model to follow.

Truth of Track
*Warning* If you have any problems with racism, this post is not for you. This is to make fun of human history as to observations made in everyday life; thus, it is all conjecture, so don't get mad, be glad of the differences.....they make the world turn. Any connections made within this post are most likely false, but fun to make especially if you are any race except white, because you shall be punished for your a**hole ancestors.......Enjoy.
The truth of the track is one that many people know: in fast races,
the black person will win; in longer races the white one has it. Why is this? There have been many jokes brought about the reasoning behind it, such as heredity, environment, or hell of a lot of training, but I believe these are only small parts of a whole to effect the races. My take on things is that the races predict the race's outcome.
My reasoning behind this is to see how people react to certain events. White people don't jump at gun shots, well at least not as much as blacks do. Why? I believe past events of history are a direct cause: White people owned slaves -> slaves ran away -> white people chased the slaves with guns, and shot at them. Based on this flow of events, blacks are more jumpy to shots fired, as in the past their bodies are programmed to move to it, as they are at the business end of the barrel. Whereas, white people have always been the trigger of the shots; thus, they are more comfortable with fired shots, as they are not being shot at, so they don't move so quickly to fired shots. This is worsen as white people go on hunting trips, desensitizing them to gun shots.
If you go further back into the history of whites and blacks before they met and one enslaved the other, whites typically were the servants of lazier white leaders; and the black tribesmen would go hunting, whether they be young, old, or in between, they were bred to moved quickly. Even in the establishing of the United States, the white people traveled the country side, giving them the advantage to have the endurance for longer races on the track, whereas blacks have always counted upon foot speed to be quick.
In the end, white people continue to prove their worth in the long haul, but anything short the black man will out move them simply.
