Some kid (maybe one pictured above) is going to try to get into the NBA Draft next summer, and he will be refused.
The NBA will point to a rule they drew up, and tell the kid it's nothing personal. David Stern won't tell the kid that American public mentality feels that you can't give a black kid $60 million, or that the same black kid is- genetically and demographically- less qualified to operate in the world than a tennis player, a curveball artist, or a golfer.
If the kid hasn't figured all that stuff out by the time that he leaves Stern's office... he almost deserves to be smashed into a pile of quivering flesh-Jello as he steps off the curb and gets hit by Michelle Wie's brand new speeding Porsche.
ESPN.com - GOLF - Adelson: What took so long?
Soceity has grabbed the black man by both ears, and drove its' collective knee into his exposed groin.... again. There's some kid in high school right now who is a better player than whatever stiff the Miami Heat will draft at the end of the first round next summer, but he won't be let into the NBA because they have decided that he is more likely than not no better than a thug n*****.
Baseball and hockey draft piles of high school players every year. The #1 tennis player in the world is a teen Russian. The oldest person on the next Olympic girls gymnsatic team will be younger than Lebron James. Baseball gets them as young as possible, and literally robs from cradles in some Latin American countries.
Only genetics and the negative media perception of steroids (and the same high Black Guy ratio) keeps the NFL from drafting children, and I suppose NASCAR would have a lot of trouble:
A) running a racer who isn't old enough to drive the car, and
B) finding a car owner who will let a teenager pilot his Meal Ticket next to a guy like Dale Jr- who is sort of genetically programmed to Wall the kid, just to teach him a little lesson.
The PGA/LPGA is now about to let a girl into Professional status who would have to wait until 2008 to earn dollar one if she were a big, dumb power forward from Cabrini Green who didn't play a rich White man's hobby.
Since most blacks don't golf, play tennis, or skate... America applauds the entry of children into these professional ranks. Maybe someone will get a pic of her going to her Prom with Eli Manning . It's cute.
It's just when you see an uppity black like Darius Miles driving a Ferrari that you realize that there are some flaws inherent in the system.
It's kind of sad... because sports should be a place where penis length or what your father does for a living doesn't really have much of a bearing on what happens on the field.
The sharecropper's son should win the race if he's faster than the accountant's daughter... and if the girl from the rich high school turns out to faster than either of them.... you won't hear a peep out of me.
What bothers me is when they make the sharecropper's son run an extra mile to reach the same goal.... even if he's the class President.
This crap you're seeing when you compare the PGA to the NBA is almost like a Bush Tax Cut.... "We're all equal... it's just that some of us are more equal than the others. "
"If those n****** had any sense, they would have learned to fish.... instead of robbing that Foot Locker, they could get out on the BASS tour...like me."

I was gonna write "Puppiesssssssssss," but I didn't think anyone but you or I would get it.
i voted for ya for a vivi, best sports journal of coarse :-)
You've got some valid points in there, although they are mixed with a few racial and political generalizations of your own. :) I really loved the photos of the Nebraska storms in your other entry. Thanks for discovering the real story about them.
