Most American athletes never bothered to learn much in school. History, Botany, Physics, Biochemistry, Geology are foreign languages especially when the leftist academes decided it was best to permit the ignorant to be dumb enough to write out their own programs for achieving their left wing union card a diploma.
Most American athletes never even graduate into that level of choice.
This shouldn’t bother folks much, for even those non-athletes whose ignorance helps them decide their own educational programs to perpetuate their ignorance wind up knowing more than graduates from Women’s Studies Departments or Black Studies Departments of American Universities from coast to coast.
Ignorance is on the offensive in America these days. It has been celebrated widely at universities since the Sex and Drug Revolution and has become particularly popular among today’s black leftists, both in and out of government. It has merged with the America-hate boiling fascistic ObamaBrains at the White House and Justice Departments.
Recently American sports hero, Hank Aaron announced:
“To remind myself,” Aaron tells USA TODAY Sports, “that we are not that far removed from when I was chasing the record. If you think that, you are fooling yourself. A lot of things have happened in this country, but we have so far to go. There’s not a whole lot that has changed.
“We can talk about baseball. Talk about politics. Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he’s treated.
“We have moved in the right direction, and there have been improvements, but we still have a long ways to go in the country.
“The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.”
Aaron, 80, looks around and sees few African Americans as CEOs of major corporations. He reads and watches about incidents such as the Trayvon Martin case, a racially charged trial in which George Zimmerman, who is Hispanic, was acquitted after shooting and killing Martin, an unarmed black teen. Zimmerman was accused of racial profiling; he claimed he acted in self-defense.
And, of course, Aaron looks at the faces on the ballfield.
“When I first started playing, you had a lot of black players in the major leagues,” Aaron says. “Now, you don’t have any (7.7% of big-leaguers last season). So what progress have we made? You try to understand, but we’re going backward.”
