He's a glowing bigot, racist, probably misogynist as well...
But Karl Denninger may have slipped on one here in picking up a story about a former Auburn and Cleveland Browns football player.
CBS News had the story in 1999. James Brooks hadn't been paying child support, and chose to go to jail instead of fulfilling his requirements as a father.
Brooks was functionally illiterate, and Denninger, as the money quote for his post, seized this from the CBS News article...
"Didn't have to go to class," Brooks said. "In this country, it was all about how good you are, and I was one of the best in the country."People don't get it. There is no rule of law... Probably never has been.
Brooks probably has done many things (in the name of being Football Man) which would get ordinary people imprisoned for life.
But there is one important thing people don't get. The law confuses this as a person's actions having what is referred to as "legitimate purpose".
What is really being adjudicated or charged is not the action having "legitimate purpose", but the actor of said action.
Brooks didn't have to do anything as a student because his Football Man status gave him legitimate purpose and free reign, as such.
And, once that legitimate purpose ends, it can all come crashing down, as it has for Brooks.
I would suggest that Denninger look into Vince McMahon's league and damn well hope my fear for it comes true -- that it is a league of, by, and for White players.
