The Microcosm Of Sport

Like most things in the current age, professional sport has become a degenerate mockery of itself. The presentation is a high-tech vaudeville act that is now mostly advertisements and propaganda. The people in charge of the various sports are the worst this age can muster. The participants are vulgar carnies. Despite the best efforts of this age, however, sport continues to provide an insight into our times. It is a microcosm of the larger society in which it operates.

For example, football was always the second sport in America, up until the explosion of mass media in the 1980’s. In fact, football was probably behind sports like boxing and horse racing, not just baseball. The explosion of television rocketed football to the top of sport entertainment because it was a natural for the medium. It provides a stage that fits the screen, has breaks for ad space and is a weekly happening. The NFL quickly became a lightly scripted television sports drama.

The mass media culture made the NFL in particular, and football in general, the king of the sports entertainment industry. Like the culture as a whole, the apparent success of the league masks the problems. Ownership has given way to a class of mercurial operators with no loyalty to the local communities. Their greed has resulted in a steady decline in the product. While ratings have seen a boost so far this year, general interest has been in decline for the last decade.

A big reason for that is the product. Kids are not playing football at the youth level, like they used to, so the number of young males moving through the system is in decline, meaning that the quality of player has declined. You see that with the quarterback position, which is the most challenging. The sudden decline in the number of white kids playing youth ball means a decline in the positions requiring smarts. One result is the position has become more “athletic”.

Of course, modernity destroys social capital, and youth sports are the canary in the coal mine when it comes to social cohesion. When America was based on strong white communities, it had lots of white fathers volunteering to coach sports, run youth leagues and so on. As the white population declines, white volunteers decline. As society becomes more diverse, which brings deracination and alienation, the organic structures that make youth sports possible decline.

The men running the sport are not concerned about that as they are not the sort to invest in society. They just assume they can pack up their stuff and move onto the next society once all the life from this one has been drained. These are post-Americans who operate as pirates. Like the global economy that spawned them, they ride the waves of globalism. America is just the place where they can operate at the moment, a pirate’s cove that means nothing to them.

The NFL is also riddled with scandal. Its team in Washington is owned by a degenerate who is one scandal after another. To distract from the latest scandal, DEA agents raiding their facilities, the league instructed their media to focus on manufactured crises involving coaches. For a while, the media was obsessing over the coach of the Jacksonville franchise. They keep making up stories about him, relying on imaginary sources and manufactured internet chatter.

The coach of the league’s Las Vegas franchise was just forced to resign when it was learned he held normal opinions about gays and blacks. His e-mails magically appeared in the media just when the DEA came calling. It was an orchestrated hit, probably with the help of that team’s owner, in order to get out of paying the contract. It could also be part of the effort to distract from the looming narcotics scandal. The DEA does not raid famous people because of a paperwork discrepancy.

This stuff is a microcosm of the ruling class. They got these e-mails from a previous investigation of their Washington team. Then they used those e-mails from that prior scandal to distract attention from the current scandal. Those e-mails were handed to a reporter, who did not bother to mention the source of them. Once the coach addressed the issue another batch of e-mails was delivered to the New York Times. They did not mention their source either. Imagine that.

Like the political media, the sports media is owned by the system. They are the ministry of truth blasting out what the league tells them to say. If one of them gets froggy and does genuine reporting, he is dismissed from his post. YouTube and Twitter are full of people who would be happy to play the role of jock sniffer. Everyone in the ministry of truth knows this, so they play along. To borrow a phrase from Theodore Dalrymple, the media is a collection of emasculated liars.

Right there is the last five years of Washington politics. The system manufacturing fake scandals in order to hide real scandals. The media, which still claims to be impartial observers, plays along because they have not choice. They are servants. The result is the real crimes get pushed to the shadows, while nonsense stories fill the air, often used to discredit people asking too many questions. This is rule by sociopath. It is a reflection of the ruling class as a whole.

The Gruden affair is a perfect moment to see the reality of this age. He is a person who holds normal opinions about things like race and gays. In private he talks like what normal people would expect from a sports coach. He is being hurled into the void on a morality charge by people who lie on spec. The relatively normal guy is condemned by the carny trash as morally unfit. That’s America in a nutshell. Our moral arbiters are vulgar degenerates and sociopaths.

The problems we see with professional sports in America reflect the problems of the West in general. Sport is a Western thing. Other people compete in small ways, but organized sporting activity is part of European man. There is a reason there is no equivalent of the NFL in Africa. Big time sports need big time societies and those societies will always be European societies. The other people of the world simply lack the capacity to produce these cultural artifacts.

As the West declines, sport has now declined with it. The people running pro sports, active in the destruction of the West, are operating under the delusion that they can survive the decline of Western people. In fact, many are driven by a desire to create a post-European world. This is what you see everywhere in the ruling class. You also see that it is unsustainable. Without the necessary human capital, these manifestations of Western culture cannot last and they will not last.

True as the gist of your remarks may be, you’re overlooking three points: Gruden is stupid if he thought he could “talk normal” in emails he should have known would be intercepted and potentially used against him. Semi-black QB’s like Mahomes and all-black QB’s like Dak Prescott will prove to be as adept as Brady and Brees at reading and exploiting defenses. Plus they can run. Football is giving way to soccer in tune with the feminization of America. That said, suburban black dads and soccer moms could as successfully organize youth leagues as can suburban white dads and soccer… Read more »

It’s probably worth pointing out that the Raiders signed him to a 10-year, $100mm contract. He’s a mediocre coach, by NFL standards, so this controversy may be manufactured, in part, to escape that contract.

Pretty much every guy in the League agrees with me; they’re just too scared to say so.” Had he done that, the Las Vegas Raiders would instantly have become the most popular team in the League.

Bukharin strayed from the script at the conclusion of his show trial, insisting on his innocence in spite of all the ‘special methods’ used to induce the correct attitude. He was still shot – that was a foregone conclusion – but it led to his eventual rehabilitation, while his wife lived in relative peace to an old age.

For a guy who’s always been rich, Trump is uniquely blind to real class signals. It’s why he was rappers’ favorite white man and why the establishment’s reaction to his political career has been such a deep psychotic break that they’re planning to murder the hundred million Americans who persist in not *getting* it.

Gruden blasts a lot of real-man noise, but he knows who he is and where he lives. There are no economic motivations there, and no popularity. No one up there has anything to learn from a dirt-toucher like Trump.

I think Trump’s blindness to social cues is due to his narcissism. Narcissists can be a bit like Autistics in that they don’t develop instinctive subconscious sensing of ‘the right thing to do/be/say’. A smart autist can develop an algorithmic theory of mind and thrive at the cost of extra conscious processor cycles. A narcissist rarely does; they’re blissful in their ignorance of and contempt for the quotidian.

I don’t mind Trump for his bull in the china shop aspect. But obviously don’t expect anything more from him.

That’s just it. You know you’re done for anyway, so the only question is, how do you want to go out? On your feet, or on your knees?

If he’d just owned it, stood firm, and made them fire him, things would’ve gotten very hot, very fast for the Raiders and the NFL. They (probably) still would’ve done it, but it would’ve been in the teeth of massive fan support. (Of course, this is Clown… Read more »

Another issue with youth sports in America is it has become something of a racket with “pay to play”, attracting legions of parasites who promise parents that their mediocre kids are going to get college sports scholarships or become millionaire professionals. The parents lap it up because televised sport is such a false godhead, and the one thing this country needs is more professional TV athletes, right?

Tempazpan: College and organized sports plus corporatism is a poisonous combination. When college used to be for well-bred and solidly-brained men, the students would naturally get together for informal sports competition. That was light years away from ‘college’ sports today, with ‘scholarships’ for illiterate ghetto blacks and purple-haired mutant womyn. And behind it all we find, as with everything, equality (college is for everyone!) and money (it is unnatural to be motivated by anything else).

They’re trying to lure the parents [psychologically] into a frame of mind where the parents agree to send the kid to the coach’s $2500 one week summer camp.

All it takes is 100 clueless parents, and the coach grosses a cool quarter of a million dollars [of which maybe $25,000 is overhead for the room & board in an otherwise empty dormitory].

I’m absolutely convinced that the reason for the proliferation of negro quarterbacks is that the head coaches and offensive coordinators decided that they would be well advised to take advantage of negro running ability at the position, and the only way to be able to do that was to dumb down the offense. My guess is that offensive schemes are far simpler now than they were in 2001.

The problem with, “athletic,” QBs in the NFL is that everyone in the NFL is large, fast, and well-conditioned.

All those hits from dozens of defenders add up on the athletic QB.

Once they lose that first step, it’s over.

In contrast, Brady has been able to hang around forever because of his uncanny sidestep and generally favorable treatment from the refs.

Yep. If you want to win the Super Bowl, a smart, white QB is still the way to go. But such QBs are becoming extinct. High school coaches in lily white schools find the most athletic negro and stick him at QB, which means that college coaches have increasingly slim pickins if they want a traditional quarterback. And if there are none of those at the collegiate level, there won’t be any in the NFL either.

Being fair to the coaches for a second, coaching a “pro style” offense is orders of magnitude harder than coaching an “option” system. Even if your “athletic” quarterback is taught to pass first, run second (a rarity), all you really have to coach the offensive line to do is “hit that guy.” The receivers are told to run to a spot and turn around, and so on. An actual pro-style offense means that everyone needs quite a bit of coaching. All the O-line guys need to understand their assignments (not just “go hit that guy”). Receivers have to actually be… Read more »

Heck, even my daughter’s middle school volleyball team practiced at least two hours a day three days a week. Same for me when I wrestled (except it was five days a week for wrestling) and played soccer. The football team practiced at least as much at the wrestling team.

You’re totally correct, but the running QBs take a beating. The fact is, most black QBs can’t read defenses quick enough or well enough. As a consequence, their go to play is the jungle bunny jaunt – Vick was a prime example. There have a few decent black pocket passers, but they’re rare. The White guys dominate that aspect.

You can trace the decline of the San Francisco 49ers to the very day that Eddie DeBartolo stopped being the hands-on owner and ceded control to his sister.

And as size began to matter more than smarts, it stopped being a sport and became more and more a giant shoving match, to where now it’s…. boring.

Baseball has been slower to follow the other team sports into the dumpster, because the very nature of the game strongly selects for high IQ. But upper management is sure making the effort.

It’s difficult to imagine that the pervasive religion of anti-whiteness may continue to go unnoticed by average White people who simply want to work hard, raise children, live their lives, maybe even occasionally enjoy a sportsball game. The de facto anti-whiteness will control not only on an exterior level (the way whites are treated by the systems which manage our lives; education, business, judicial, etc.) but maybe even more disastrously on an interior level. It will determine how we self censor even before interfacing with those systems. That the backbone of society has become diseased in that way is catastrophic… Read more »

The sad thing is that done right, sportsball is a powerful vehicle for nationalism.

What made the NFL was instant replay — a tech development. Watching the game in person or on TV is incoherent because it’s a blur. The instant replay slows down the action and lets the commentators tell you what happened, then throw in a little story from their playing or coaching days. The atmosphere was guys sitting around, drinking, b.s.’ing about sports. That’s long gone.

I agree with the 2nd part (blur) but still enjoy hockey in-person and find it slightly disorienting to watch televisually (which might be from glare off the rink but basketball overcomes a bad, low-contrast arena with reflecting surface).

The prime factor in suiting football for TV is the stop/start nature and the emotionalism/soap-opera that the medium imbues. Instant reply only reinforces this aspect already native to gridiron culture, so called. Baseball and soccer are really slow with ample room for commentary too but only infrequently as “dramatic.”

The big risk for football v basketball/soccer/baseball is participation. You can do pickup games at least for basketball and soccer with as little as six, and you can play relatively injury free well into middle age. So the interest can be cultivated well past high school when most stop playing football at any competitive-ish level.

As for blurs, slow mo has also helped soccer and basketball since most intricate moves go by so quickly you can’t see them. Of course going to a game is more about the experience than actually watching what’s happening on the field.

Back in the early 80s, American sportsball announcer Howard Cosell got in hot water for referring to black Washington Redskins receiver Gary Clark as a “tough little monkey.” Cosell meant nothing by that other than that Clark was tough. However, the media exploded in indignation because they innately knew of the resemblance between blacks and non-human primates. Thus, in attempting to anathematize noticing this resemblance, the media unwittingly validated the resemblance.

Never mentioned is the fact that no player of any ability can walk into the clubhouse and make himself a part of the team, he must be signed to a contract by the general manager.

I’d argue that the military was also like that once. It historically was white men who won the victories, up to the ultimate victory of 1945. Even into the imperial wars, one could argue that the backbone of the service was white men, and the defeats were attributable to the politicians, not the troops. Since 1992, that has also been slowly, then rapidly, taken away.
It’s also not a coincidence that the NFL went all in on pimping the armed forces, and waving the flag, even before 2001.

I recall the movie Relentless with Aidan Quinn and Daryl Hannah. It portrays life in a PA steel town as being so miserable that the Aidan Quinn character Johnny’s dad pretty much drinks himself to death, while Johnny plays football to try to get out of that life.

I wanna say the dad was played by the late great Charles Durning but I think it was another guy I confuse with Durning. Can’t be bothered to look it up, but the movie is a good watch, and a good listen due to the soundtrack.

All those movies about dying rust belt towns from that era always neglected to point the finger at the real culprits, those that in a single generation destroyed a prosperous way of life for tens of millions of Americans.

“Well we’re living here in Allentown.
And they’re closing all the factories down”.

“They”? It sounds so sterile and inevitable. It was actual humans that pulled the rug out from under countless communities.

I never engaged in any sport as a kid, except boxing, but there I was an outlier as a middle-class white kid. It’s a truism among the Turks in Germany in the grade schools that the Germans (what they call native-born whites) don’t fight back. You can see tons of videos online of Turks just wailing on white children at parks and schools who curl up into balls while the Gastarbeiternachwuchs (descendants of the guest workers) beat the crap out of them.

This is beautiful and should be required viewing for everybody. Who is the mensch in this exchange: Ali or the effete host mouthing platitudes while squirming in his chair? This was an oratorical KO.

Ali is cut off at the end, but you can hear him say ‘I hate nobody’ right after he says ‘I love my own people’. And that is the essence of it. There is no hate in what he says. His interlocutors can’t grasp that and I bet he would never say ‘I love my own people too’ even if he qualified it with a ‘but’.

Gambling: it’s a big factor in the resurgence of football this year and probably explains why NFL football hasn’t (yet) followed the TV ratings fate of NBA basketball. The “fantasy league” phenomenon and the legalized sports betting in many states have saved the NFL and the league has basically aligned itself with the gambling companies. Meanwhile, the NFL has a 100% injury rate and no team could field a full team on Sunday without the aid of a vast array of strong painkillers for the combatants.

Here in Canada hockey has been pretty pozzed. All the minor league players are now required to be vaccinated to enter a hockey rink. Coaches are required to go through gender theory training. They’re pushing girls into boys hockey very hard.

Basically, hockey “doesn’t look like the country” (aka it’s all white and Canada is now a brown country), so it must be destroyed.

This is a good synopsis by George Will on how football has changed: Football is bigger than ever, in several senses. Bear Bryant’s 1966 undefeated Alabama team had only 19 players who weighed more than 200 pounds. The heaviest weighed 223. The linemen averaged 194. The quarterback weighed 177. Today, many high school teams are much bigger. In 1980, only three NFL players weighed 300 or more pounds. In 2011, according to pro-football-reference.com, there were 352, including three 350-pounders. Thirty-one of the NFL’s 32 offensive lines averaged more than 300. Various unsurprising studies indicate high early mortality rates among linemen… Read more »

Another lesson of modern sports is you can field a team of less than optimal athletes that can punch way above their weight class if you have the instinctual cohesiveness of a band of brothers.

When my team would play a vibrant team, we would compensate with ball circulation, perimeter/3 point shots. Oh and the secret weapon: pump fakes. They would jump at every single pump fake–not hyperbole. And since they can jump pretty high, we could take time to shoot in proper form.

Worked like a charm. Every. Single. Time.

In truth, that’s a huge reason why pro football sucks. The incompetence displayed by most offenses stems from lack of cohesion on the o-line, so the only for an offense to function is to either buck the trend and develop an o-line (Browns, Bills) or have a freakishly good QB (Seahawks, Chiefs) to mask their deficiencies. But when the success of a team can be predicted by reading the roster at the beginning of the season, slogging through two hours of woke commercials for every game time slot, week after week, no longer has any appeal.
