The Biggest Problem With Being A Man Is So Simple, A Fourth-Grader Can Get It

Gee, what a shock...

• The table is being set by the NFLPA for an eventual legal challenge which Goodell and the bleating rams (no, not those of St. Louis, Football Nation America instead!) desire:  They have formally challenged the Adrian Peterson ban.
• But leave it to Adam Silver to, once again, trump Roger Goodell.  Jeff Taylor pled guilty to domestic violence, as well as other charges, and was given the Sports God Slap on the Wrist, blah thisandthat counseling and probation and the like.  Without any public to do so (and I thank my friend for pointing this out -- my first reaction was that this penalty was far too lenient and makes the NBA look like the NFL!), Silver banned Taylor for 30% of the season -- 24 games.
• So, what happens today?  The NBPA files an appeal.
• The NHL is next. Slava Yoynov of the Stanley Cup champion LA Kings will be arraigned for a domestic violence charge on December 1, according to ESPN.

And I could go on and on.

The fact is that sports probably do need to be smashed.

Why?

Because sports are all about being a MAN...

And being MAN implies abuse, rape, and other forms of criminal behavior, largely ignored in our society against all but the undesirable.

You want to know how I can say that?

I'll tell you what.  I'll refer you to something I saw on Democratic Underground this week.  And I'll refer you to a class of fourth graders!

This was from a 2012 seminar, in which 50 boys of about fourth grade were asked the question, giving these answers in response:



I really want people to take a look at that list -- and the article linked, which accompanies it! -- and look at the situation in sports and tell me again why we shouldn't just take the whole apparatus, baby and bathwater, and flush it.
