National Association of Basketball Coaches: The SAT and ACT tests are longstanding forces of institutional racism and no longer have a place in intercollegiate athletics or higher education

Yes, the coaches feel their players are too stupid to pass tests to qualify for "higher education".

Clearly the cart is no longer being pulled by the horse, and the horse wants a free ride.

    Frankly, I get much more enjoyment watching my kids play soccer and Little League ball than a bunch oof over-paid prima donnas.

    I am done with team sports on so many levels. Individual sports such as MMA and boxing have my interest. Despite being very physical both are also very cerebral.

    I did read some obscure history on the subject many years ago, it was not a queer everything source but I have no way to confirm it. I don't think anyone can say it definitively.
    I fear I lost the source through several laptop failures, loosing everything I had stored. But I think it was from the Global Watch group which investigates history, religion and the new world order.

    Perhaps they use the revenues to pay $5 million to a sports coach, $millions to tenured professors who only spout propaganda and haven't "educated" in decades, build "sports" facilities for "sports" that no one ever wanted to see and have no place in any education.
    I suspect the gas chromatograph is paid for by research contracts and grants trying to manufacture "evidence" of global warming.
    You might conclude that I have very little respect for those who administrate higher education, and you'd be right.

    Frankly...I'm growing tired of this kind of bulls*&t. How dare anybody raise their kids, of any color, to be vulnerable to this kind of thinking. How dare anybody who knows better promote it with a straight face. It's disgusting...

    With all due respect, OUC, I don't buy that out of hand. Would you say any buddy system from summer camp to the modern military equates to "paired up in queers"? I think not. I think it runs like any large population sample. That is, homosexuality may be found, but not as a general rule. The Templars were a religious military order, but were not the same as Spartans.

    Colleges want the money that athletic events bring in, but want to drop the fig leaf of calling the athletes that provide the spectacle "students". The general public that watches the games doesn't give a damn what the average SAT score of the team is. They only care about who scores the most points. How much of the money that athletics bring in do colleges use to buy a gas chromatograph for the chem lab, or do they just plow it in to adding more seats in the arenas and recruiting more players?

    I recall seeing a photo of a stained glass window in some cathedral depicting two Templar knights on a single horse. Not sure what the story was.

    I'm sure they are rolling in their graves. Think of how valuable slaves and ex slaves held the ability (privilege) to read and write as compared to so many today willfully embracing ignorance and illiteracy in the name of "being black". They don't even know their own history and don't even care

    Interestingly, I read an account of the Knights Templar and many were illiterate because it was considered beneath them since their trade was being a warrior. They had lowly priests and scribes to take care of the books.

    I wonder what the founders of the United Negro College Fund ("A mind is a terrible thing to waste") would think of the spectacle unfolding today?

    I don't see where anyone needs an academic degree to play professional sports anyway. This "profession" isn't like being a doctor or engineer. It's a skilled trade like a plumber or auto mechanic - only probably a lot easier to those born with the physical properties required. A person can be academically as dumb as a brick and still be great at tossing a ball through a hoop.

    Teach ignorant savages to kneel before the feudal lords. They can hire accountants and agents for the rest of those unimportant menial tasks.

    So the game scores and athlete performance are irrelevant. Merit is racist. To avoid racism then at least 65% of players must be white regardless of ability.

    How sad and such a waste of human beings. If "whiteness" is described as " Individualism, hard work, objectivity, the nuclear family, progress, respect for authority, delayed gratification...", then what is "blackness"? Could this be it:

    Individualism becomes tribal collectivism.
    Hard work becomes sloth and laziness.
    Objectivity becomes dreamy irrationalism.
    Nuclear family becomes totally irresponsible procreation and minimal or no child rearing.
    Progress becomes stagnation or digression.
    Respect for authority becomes criminal chaos.
    Delayed gratification becomes I want mine now even if I have to harm you to get it.

    I don't think this is what black people really want, but this is where it's going.
