I’m starting to think that the Lame Stream Media obsession with Mr. and Mrs. Ray Rice, and their elevator drama is a deliberate effort to avoid reporting any actual serious news; specifically, (1) the fact that Obama’s reactive, ill-conceived foreign policy, as reflected by that incomprehensible, horrible speech last Wednesday night, is and is almost certainly going to continue to be disaster (2) our porous Southern “border,” which apparently is being eyed by Islamic lunatics seeking to murder as many Americans as possible and (3) the sudden and dramatic increase in the number of children infected with enterovirus EV-D68, flooding emergency rooms from Missouri to Alabama and several other states, which has some of us asking whether we need to connect some dots. Is it a coincidence that this virus, which hasn’t been seen more than 100 times in this country since the 1960’s, is suddenly appearing right after the “unaccompanied alien minors,” which were actually mostly single women and children started invading our country? The current Ray Rice hysteria, featuring feminist shrews demanding the resignation of NFL commission Roger Goddell, and 16 female senators sending Mr. Goddell a letter expressing their deep “concern” over domestic abuse in the NFL, is a much more important story, of course. Don’t you love the way politicians always get really “concerned” during election years, especially when they are trying to change the subject? I am still waiting for one of these “concerned” female activists and politicians to express “concern” about the activities of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, who actually killed a woman, or Bill Clinton, who raped Juanita Broderick, sexually assaulted Kathleen Willey and committed the ultimate “power relationship” sexual harassment with intern Monica Lewinsky.
I also agree with Rush Limbaugh, who said that CBS commentator James Brown's monologue about domestic violence during the pre-game show was out of line, and then
went on to say that combined with other hot-button issues surrounding the NFL, including the 2012 murder-suicide of Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend, the name of the Washington Redskins and the entry of Michael Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by an NFL team would be the end of the NFL.
“Sorry, this is not why I watch football,” Limbaugh said. “This is going to be the death of this sport. It is no longer an escape. It is no longer about great athletes. It is no longer about amazing athletic achievement and drama. It’s now become about guns and gays and domestic violence. These are the topics that we’re all going to be lectured on all season long. A press conference for a practice squad signee in Dallas because he’s gay? The never-ending refrain on the Washington Redskins’ name and now this? Gun, gays, domestic violence – these are topics that I frankly I don’t need to be preached to about. I don’t need to be lectured and I certainly, certainly don’t want to turn on a football game and end up being accused of all kinds of social misbehavior.”
He also could have included the NFL's green initiative, which includes recycling, renewable energy, tree-planting, and a bunch of other nonsense. For that matter, the NBA has a stinking green initiative as well.
The Great Leveling Project, in which there is no more maleness nor femaleness, no economic inequality because there is no ambition or vision, in which all cultures are on an equal moral plane, is well underway. Professional sports, like music and movies, has become on the one hand about ever-louder and flashier dazzle-dazzle, and on the other about causes that have their root in a desire to deny human nature and the lessons of history.
What ought to concern us is that maleness will inevitably find some kind of outlet, and it may not be as constructive as touchdowns and field goals.
