My 2,000th post...

Hard to believe.

Really hard to believe, and I kind of had to stop myself when I saw the number up there, because I already have the subject matter for Post #2,001.

I've said this repeatedly, mostly to my anonymous friend who has helped me with significant amounts of material, as well as the occasional kick in the ass, but, when I started this blog on October 7, 2010, I never believed the kinds of things we would find:
  • Penn State and Jerry Sandusky
  • Baylor and the entire culture around the revenue-generating sports there
  • The rise of Adam Silver and the fall of racist pig Donald Sterling (and the need for many more owners and officials to be ousted since!)
  • The absolute explosion of awareness of head injuries and CTE in the lie which is the sport of football (one more example of which will be Post #2,001).
  • The explosion of corruption in computer video-game "E-sports".
  • The complete disregarding of any degree of intelligence by a propaganda organization masquerading as a sports league, with about the credibility of the WWE, if that.  I'm looking right at you, Mr. Goodell!
  • The complete disintegration of a world sports sanctioning body, supposing to be administering the world's most popular sport, into a morass of kickbacks, vote-buying, and match-fixing.
  • A country, culture, and society in the United States that has taken the concept of "if you are important (in sports as in other regards), you can grab her in the pussy" and made an orange Oompa-Loompa with a bad combover and a worse Stone Cold Stunner sell it's President!
And I could go on and on and on...

But it's hard for me to believe we are actually at Post #2,000.  I'd like to thank the readers, few as they are, for taking the time to read my little catharsis.  I will not lie:  There are sports entities in this country that need to be burnt to the fucking ground (the first two mentioned universities are at or near the top of that list!).

I'd like to thank my anonymous friend (who is the one who has requested the anonymity, and is simply a researcher, no inside ties) for a lot of the material, suggestions, and the occasional correction.

I wish I could say I could thank the sports leagues for the material, but I don't.  I used to fucking enjoy sports.  Now I can't.  Sunday was a perfect example of why.  I literally was almost dragging my jaw on the ground at that restaurant, in utter disbelief they'd actually pull it off and insult the intelligence of anyone who has two brain cells left and still watches football...

As I said around the time of the election, I believe my time here is shorter now than ever, and I won't be around much longer.  I know my name is squarely on Trump's "lists" through his connections with his "Celebrity Apprentice" shows.  (And if you research several of my 2,000 posts, you will know through whom and what.)  I've already said the only reason that I did not make one of the 12,000 Tweets the Secret Service is investigating on threatening Trump's life is that I am smart enough to know the cure (Mike Pence) is worse than the disease!  Trump has a great insurance policy.

But as long as I'm here, God willing, I'll try to use my next few hundred or whatever posts to continue to ram it in the face of a corrupt sports culture worldwide.

Join me.
