That's understandable. We've seen enough gang-related violence in both pro and college football to imagine them quite active when the shooting starts. Whatever Vox means by that.
What Vox is saying, though, about football instilling courage may have been true a few decades ago; but today football and most team sports are generally worthless as sources of role models for men. Here are the recent NFL headlines from TMZ Sports.
1. Former player, now sportscaster Desmond Howard incited controversy by saying on-air of a female collegue: "Am I going to have to choke that b---h?"
2. Carli Lloyd, who aspires to be the first woman to play in the NFL, states that she's "gotten inquires from several teams." The Buffalo Bills hired a Lesbian coach a year or two ago.
3. University of Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban invited woman-beating NFL star Ray Rice to speak to his players about "how to treat women."
4. Dallas Cowboys' Team Captain Tyrone Crawford was involved in a massive bar fight.
5. New England Patriots' star Patrick Chung is charged with felony possession of Cocaine. The team has taken no action against Chung.
6. Colin Kaepernick praised by anti-police activists. Kaepernick was also GQ Magazine's 'Man of the Year'.
7. Ex-NFL star Mario Williams arrested: "Video Shows Intense Standoff with Baby Momma," reads the headlines.
8. Oakland Raiders' star Antonio Brown is being sued for over $38,000 for not paying a professional chef/caterer after a party held at Brown's private mansion.
9. Dallas Cowboys' Running-Back Ezekiel Evans was spotted at a Cabo San Lucas beach. Evans is holding out for higher contract, and hasn't been to training camp this Summer. He claims that his current annual salary of $3.85 million isn't enough. Four other top players across the league are also holding out.
10. Miami Dolphins' star Mario Walton makes a plea deal with prosecutors to "close out drugs, guns, and battery charges."
11. The aforementioned Ezekiel Evans also had Battery charges dropped after a fight in a Las Vegas Casino.
12. New England Patriots' star Josh Gordon is being reinstated in the NFL after failing drug tests last December. Gordon has been suspended and reinstated multiple times.
13. Billionaire 'gangsta rapper' Jay-Z is reportedly buying an NFL franchise. Wikipedia notes this about Jay-Z: "In the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Jay-Z and Beyoncé supported presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at her rally in Cleveland. Clinton praised Jay-Z for addressing racism, oppression, and the criminal justice system."
Bear in mind that the above stories were culled from TMZ reporting during the last 7 days. Is there a single thing there that any parent would be proud of their children doing?Contrary to what Vox Day says, it's really those of us who love American sports and deplore what they've become, are its real allies. And it's Vox Day and his Red-Pill stooges who are the real "ignorant fools and physical cowards."
If anyone doubts that many NFL players are cowards, consider that there have been 29 players arrested since August 2018---seven of which were for beating or threatening women. The most recent one of these was Arizona Cardinals' player Darius Philon (6-1, 286 pounds) for threatening a dancer at a Phoenix nightclub with a knife. His teammate, Desmond Harrison (6-6, 295 pounds), was arrested in July for beating and choking an unidentified woman. Another Cardinal, Ricky Seals-Jones was arrested last year for beating up a hotel staffer who told him that the Mens' Room was full. Although a millionaire, Detroit Lions' player Trevor Bates refused to pay a $32 cab fare and beat up the police officer who responded to the scene.
Very rarely are these thugs ever seriously punished for what they do. Most times they get light sentences like 6 months in a fake 'Diversion Program'. Since August, 2018 only four players have been suspended by the NFL for personal misconduct---14 games total, meaning that the average suspension is three games. Twelve more have been suspended for failing drug tests---39 games total, meaning that the average suspension is three games. Just to get a sense of the NFL's priorities, Minnesota Vikings' Assistant Coach Mike Priefer was suspended for three games in 2014 for allegedly making "homophobic" remarks in public.
This is the type of 'manhood' for which Vox Day and others like him are grooming men to become. Being an 'Alpha' essentially means being a bully, a cheat, and a thug and getting away with it. Those are not the values America stands for.
I watched the opening game of the NCAA season last night. It's hard to describe just how feckless the tackling was by both teams. One announcer did mention that this was the season's first game and that, "I don't know how much tackling they do in practice."
ReplyDeleteThe answer is, none. There is fear that they will get hurt doing that, so that are expected to do on Saturday evening what they have not been allowed to do all week. When they coach asks why they missed a tackle, a legitimate defense would be, "Because you won't let me practice and as a result I don't know how to do it."
Now, don't forget that our ancestors were barbarians not that long ago too. :) World War 2 showed that Whites can revert back to Barbarism under the right conditions as well; Korea and Vietnam showed that Asians aren't immune from it. It just goes with being human: reward thuggery and it rises to the surface in society rather quickly.
