bravo rojo. I don't know how Americans can sleep at night. With the passing of time, the cracks in our society are growing... How oft are the cultural and moral critics and whistleblowers mocked and persecuted! There are people who do care about football (for example) and dedicated dreams and blood sweat tears and money to it. How about that young man who was paralyzed from the head down from a football accident? Meanwhile, phony Christians are filling the pews today for social reasons or to excuse themselves, while believing not or totally disrespecting the Saints of history... Saints that belong to religions beyond Christianity and to many times and places. These same people who disrespect humanity to brag about death or their shallow machismo.
Countenance the broken dreams and suffering of the innocent and meek with the fraud that is professional sports, with the greedy fat cats at the top taking all and the upper class, the middle class and lower middle class as pawns. Pawns for status or brainwashed with blue collar pride. That's the sporting culture and values we want to transmit to our children, that we are proud at calling American? That the American dream can come with a combination of luck plus ruthlessness and cheating, at the cost of many innocents? Celebrities making money off of endorsements they don't believe in, and "charity" work that is cookie-cutter bs just to look good.
There are people who are miserable everyday because they cannot get the opportunities they deserve and accumulate bad luck and injustice. There are people, in and out of uniform, through the ages, of our nation's history and beyond, who have made titanic sacrifices to get us to where we are today...
It's nonsense, and you all know it. But, no, let all the elite puffery proliferate on these boards. Block the whistleblowers on fb, hide behind phony social media. Hide and deny, worse than cowards because at least cowards have a semblance of a conscience... It's not an accident. Many runners out there are complete phonies in terms of social justice conscience, religion, American values, etc. Many of them continue to be friends with known dopers, thugs and all manners of ruthless reckless disgusting people because that's the name of the game, to be as greedy as possible and have as many linkedin connections or fb friends or instagram followers as possible. Plausible deniability and excuses is what they will cling to, to the end...
