We have several, both in SoCal and NoCal.

Remember when going to the White House was an exciting prospect for anyone regardless of personal politics?














Good times.

Dopey athletes have no place in the White House, unless they buy a ticket like any other tourist.

Brainless? Even though most of the players have better degrees than you? Even though it takes smarts to play a sport? Let me guess, you've never played sports on a real team?

Well, it's fake news because they haven't been invited.

What if the White House doesn't want them there, or doesn't call? Then the left would be screaming racism, so it's basically a lose-lose situation.

I was pulling for LeBron and Kyrie, but respect the Warriors even more for this move.

I think the Cavs would've done the same thing.

And if you guys think the Warriors care about your saltiness, they'll probably tell you to kiss their ring.

Some athletes are very scholarly, most are not. Many, if not most, have fraudulent degrees of convenience which are window dressing for the real purpose of their presence at a college - to participate in the farm system for the professional level of their sport.


And have you ever watched a post-game interview? The majority of them provide compelling evidence of functional lobotomy. In fact, nearly every post-game sports interview is exactly the same. It's the same banal interview over and over, with different athletes but nearly identical vacuous sentiments. It's actually quite hilarious. A post game interview is basically a fart. Seriously, play 20 of them. They are all the same interview.


Which would be fine and unimportant. But when brainless lemmings are led to a political position, you can end up with a very nasty and dangerous thing: for example a Bernie Sanders supporter. Or a silly SJW who won't go to the White House. Or a phony, fake, fraud who kneels at the national anthem to "make a statement".


So degree, deschmee. As conferred by today's typical leftist collectivist institution of lower learning, they are mostly worthless, if not deleterious.
