Very interesting theory, thank you. I’d love to read more about this concept, and Critical Race Theory overall.
In truth, because racism exists and is a lived experience for some, how does one know when something isn’t racist? This is particularly difficult to assess if it’s not one’s own lived experience. Therein lies the conundrum of the issue.
The bible for everything related to Critical Theory, postmodernism, "wokeism" in general is New Discources: https://newdiscourses.com/
The site was founded by James Lindsay and others who exposed the Critical Theorists by making up proposterous academic papers which were published as a "great advancement is scholarly research" because these people literally cannot distinguish BS from the drivel they promote. Lindsay has taken the time to read all the 'academic' papers and summarized all the insanity they contain
I'm done. Everyone I know is done. Huge NFL fans all......
NBA numbers were down 23% for the first week of the PLAYOFFS. Down over 40% over the past decade. MLB is in a decline as well. The NFL has to be stupid to take this approach......Once an audience finds a substitute, they may be gone forever.....
Funny thing is, I bet few of the Owners/Mgmt even care about BLM.........they just have to go along with the franchise.......
Sorry if I incorrectly mistook what you said as rationalization for violence. As for the systemic argument, it really betrays the truth behind their motivations. They can't point to actual racism, so they say systemic, and the narrative is revealed as a Marxist concept that any system that produces a disparate outcome is itself bad. That is the adopted foundation for Critical Race Theory, that any system that results in a dark skinned person having a poor outcome automatically makes that system racist (regardless of what responsibility or actions that person has for the outcome).
It's illogical and Marxist/Communist and is fundamentally just a jedi mind trick to seize power for the purpetrators of the theory
I watched my game. I didn't like the outcome (loss at New England), but it sure was nice to have football back. I didn't see any protesting.
Too bad some football fans have decided to punish themselves by 'cancelling" football. Actually.....who cares. The stadium was empty, and the crowd noise was being broadcasted over the audio system.
The boycott is real! And its more people than you'd care to think. Shove your political bs down our throats? Buh Bye!
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers-New Orleans Saints game Sunday that featured Tom Brady against Drew Brees delivered big time .. for FOX Sports.
The network released the ratings and they were through the roof.
The Saints-Bucs drew a 16.2/35 overnight rating, which was Fox’s highest such rating for a Week 1 game since 2016. Fox Sports PR projects that the game is on pace to become the most-watched event of any kind since the Super Bowl, eclipsing Thursday night’s Chiefs-Texans game.
Basically what people have been saying, NFL is a hard habit to kick so instead of watching 4-5 games per week, people are going to hone in on one game per week. This was the big one, Drew Brees said kneeling for the flag was disrespectful and all the woke players destroyed him for it even if he's been one of the biggest donors to poor people in new Orleans. And he was going up against Tom Brady (Trump friend and supporter), his debut away from New England for the first time in 20 years

Brady and Trump where friends, but when reports starting swirling that Brady endorsed Trump, Brady quickly put out the word that he was not yet decided on how he was going to vote. To this day he has remained silent about that, while Mrs Brady said he did not vote for Trump. So who knows for sure.
Brady had also said he thought his old friend was divisive, not long after the SOB comment.
He also indicated he was not going to visit the WH after his last Super Bowl victory, had a visit been scheduled. Although I believe Brady is just a guy who does not do White House visits regardless as to whom is President.

Sure. Of course people wanted to see how Brady does with the Bucs.
Highest rating ever. Wow. The cancelers must be disappointed.

So, they have met once or twice and now they are old friends.
