Im Finally Seeing Sports For What It Really Is

[Chill]

This clown finally woke up about how awful music is these days now he trying to apply this smart dumb bullshyt to everything

Sports is entertainment, however, it has made millionaires and changed lives. The issue is not enough of these brothers create wealth with their income like Magic Johnson. Brothers get new money and is so eager to spend it with cacs and shut out their own people because they're being told a brother goods' are inferior.

There's levels to this militant shyt

 

[observe]

Used to read a lot of NOI stuff like 20 years ago,, I remember them calling sports slavery,, that's where you got it from

But they wasn't tripping when Ali was bringing that belt back to them were they

The NFL Combine is hard to watch. Its basically a modern day slave market.

I admittedly dapped your post off of my emotions about nikkas being seen as nothing more than profit by sports associations. But upon rational thought I'm very ashamed that I dapped your post breh. Not because I got a problem with you but because every black man should have a problem with equating black men who seek their fortune to black men who where bred to work to death without ever seeing a single fukking coin. All while watching their mothers and sisters getting raped for cacs who'd kill any negro that dared look them in the eye.

Black people have a whole lot of problems under the current system. But slavery does not exist anymore, simply because slavery is more than just being seen as profit. It's much much worse. As much as they get economically exploited, the players ain't suffering at the same rate as our ancestors. Not even close.

I see your point but I respectfully disagree. Anytime I see Black folks on a stage in basically underwear being observed and prodded by white folks I cringe. I don't care that these cats will make tons of money, cuz at the end of the day what they will make will be a drop in the bucket to what the owners make anyway.

But at least they'll make something. fukk, these players all get enough to create a league of their own that is more fair...but they're so comfortable with the way they live that that's not even a priority to them. They'd rather just play, avoid major injuries, drive fast cars, acquire mansions and fukk pawgs.

They definitely don't have it easy, but they're also not really suffering like that.

What about baseball, hockey, Soccer, etc

Soccer has a transfer market where players are purchased and sold all over the world but let people bring up just basketball and football

You know what Dominicans in baseball do? They send money back to the DR and build homes and show love to their people. They aren't flying cacs over there to build them either. Dominicans are building those homes. They simple show love and get it off of pure camaraderie.

@Raul is this true?

What's the relationship like between these baseball guys and the island?

Thank you. Jesus christ. Comparing millionaire athletes to slaves...ugh

I've seen it both ways.

It's tricky because people in the DR are very poor. So don't get it twisted...there are baseball players that have to take certain measures to grease the right people's hands so they don't get jacked. Even your casual tourist who ventures out of the resorts will tell you that cops will pull you over and run your pockets. And most baseball players, if not all of them live in very protected homes/neighborhoods. When I was in the capital in 2003, I drove around the outside of a house owned by Sammy Sosa and good luck getting into that bytch. He struck me as a very secluded dude. People liked him...but he's never really been adored on that Marichal/Pedro/David Ortiz level.

But at the same time, people like Vladimir Guerrero have done a lot to help out the people he grew up with. Jose Lima (RIP) was cool like that too.
I thought I saw a video that Bartolo Colon does a lot of giving back too.

Do all these guys live on the island or do they turn around and never look back?

 

[Arithmetic]

My biggest problem with sports:

Are you telling me NFL and NBA are 85%+ Black athletes and the racial make up of head coaches is <25% black?????

The thought of all these black super athletes being led by cacs rubs me off the wrong way. Not to mention, cacs who make up the majority of the NFL fan base yet go on Facebook and Twitter and SCREAM "ALL LIVES MATTER!" and "BLUE LIVES MATTER!" Wake up brehs.

I would guess that most dominican players from the island live there in the offseason. And probably once they retire.

Maybe some guys might stay in Florida since that's tropical. Or maybe if they're rehabbing or doing the AFL...they'll stick around in the States.
A guy like Pedro Martinez who probably goes to a lot of events, and is now doing some tv analysis might be here more often.
And a guy like Albert Pujols...who is a megastar and has a lot of charities here might be here permanently...but I don't think that's the norm.

You gotta understand that Dominicans are basically New York and Florida...maybe Boston...with some sprinkles in a few other areas.
A lot of the ball players that come here learn just enough English to get by...but mostly don't completely integrate to the culture here. There aint that many places in the States where you can get sancocho or platanos or dance bachata or even do something as simple as drink a beer outside and play dominoes. So their hearts are always back home. So are their families. And unless they are successful enough to live a comfortable lifestyle in a major city...they don't stay.
