The NCAA & NAACP versus The Atlantic Coast Conference

You may not have read the latest college football news last week…..
The issue I am going to discuss….
Was skipped over by most of the major sports news networks….

The NCAA and NAACP are working together…
To punish the states of South Carolina and Mississippi…..

You are probably asking yourself….
“They must have done some thing really illegal….right?”
Wrong….

The NCAA is “forcing” a spineless Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner to prevent the ACC from having any tournaments in the State of South Carolina, to include baseball for the next four years.

Why?
Because a confederate battle flag flies over a confederate war monument on the grounds of the South Carolina state capitol.

And as we have detailed in past articles…
The NCAA does not recognize popular elections….

The fine people of the great state of Mississippi voted in a popular election to keep their state flag design……
And that doesn’t set will with the people in Indianapolis and the NAACP….

So the State of Mississippi is not allowed to hold any athletic tournaments either…
And the Commissioner of the Southeastern Conference bowed at the altar of political correctness and didn’t fight it…

If these Universities don’t have fair representation in their conferences, then why do they have to pay the same “dues” as the other colleges in the conference?

Is there any logic in holding a University accountable for the decisions made in the State House or in a popular election?

The answer is punishment…

EDITORS NOTE: If you have an aversion to the truth, stop reading now…..

Let me break this down for you…….
The folks at “Alphabet Soup”….The NCAA and NAACP….

Will tell you that the confederate battle flag is offensive to black people…..
They will tell you that the confederate battle flag is the same as the Nazi flag…..
That the confederate battle flag and the southern confederacy was all about slavery…

I am not here to teach anyone about history…

But let’s follow the logic here…..

Follow along with me….

Do any of the folks from Alphabet Soup or anyone that sides with their perspective in this argument drive a Mercedes or a BMW?

They should be ashamed of themselves….

They must get rid of those vehicles immediately…
Same goes if they own a Volkswagen.
Ditto on the Porsche….

What?

Adolph Hitler rode around in a Mercedes….
I can still see the black and white pictures of him….
Standing in the back seat; rendering the Nazi salute….
The Mercedes emblem shinning in the sun…

Adolph loved his BMW’s and owned several…..
He also proposed the Volkswagen, “The Peoples Car”
You want to talk about the history of Porsche?

If you side with Alphabet Soup and drive one of the vehicles mentioned above…

Then you are glorifying Hitler….
You endorse the Nazi agenda….

And worse….

You are a hypocrite.

You can’t have it both ways folks….

I know what some of you are saying about this particular issue…..
It’s about the reminder of slavery stupid

If that is the case….
Then that makes their argument even stranger….

If the NAACP is really sincere about their concern for slavery then why are they “in bed” with the biggest slave merchants of the 21st century?

The NCAA is a multi-billion dollar a year business….
The Harvard School of Business ranks the NCAA the Number One monopoly in the United States, ahead of Microsoft and OPEC.

The President of the NCAA makes over six million dollars a year….
Has not one, but two Lear Jets at his personal disposal….
The organization has zero government oversight or regulation…

Yet what do the “workers” make that generate this type of capitol?
Let us not forget that the majority of the “workers” in this discussion are people of “color”….

Nothing…..
Zero….
Zilch…

If that isn’t “slavery” then what is?

I know….
I know….

You say…
But they are getting a “free” education….

But it isn’t free….
The time the modern athlete spends on the practice field or on the basketball court…
Is far greater than it was in my day….
A lot greater…

The amount of money the student athlete is “allowed” to make during a year with a part-time job is capped by the NCAA…
Their non-student athlete counter-parts have no such cap on their income…

The NCAA can even use the athlete’s likeness for video games and get paid millions…and millions for it and nothing of monetary value in return for the student athlete.

Now I am not advocating that we pay college athletes…
I still believe in the purity of college athletics….

I am saying the NCAA & the NAACP has their priorities wrong….

Jesse Jackson “Marched on Montgomery” a few years ago when the University of Alabama didn’t hire a person of color to coach its football team.

I guess the right reverend was to busy a year or so later when the University of Michigan only interviewed and subsequently hired Rich Rodriguez to coach the Wolverines.
I can say this because the Rev’ was nowhere to be found.

Driving a Mercedes is O.K…..
But having a battle flag flying from war monument isn’t…

We are “over” the Holocaust….
But 19th Century Slavery is “fresh” on our minds?

Slavery was bad then….
But it’s O.K. now; as long as we get our cut?
Is that about the size of it?

We will recognize popular elections in the United States…
As long as “they” agree with the outcome…

Southern California Trojan Football Players can have a racist’s website…
That’s O.K….
But you can’t have a fraternity party at Auburn and wear a dreadlock wig….
Right?
Because Auburn is in Alabama and we all know that Southerners are racists…

They both preach tolerance….
Yet are the most intolerant organizations in this country…

I for one am sick of it….
I know that I will lose readership over this article and you know what?

I don’t give a damn….

It’s time somebody speaks the truth….
