Let me first start off by saying I reconize that "most" professional athletes are easy targets for people who are just trying to make a fast buck...But at the same time the world doesn't revolve around these athletes like they think it does either....My question to you is where do we draw the line between exploitation and ignorance on both sides of the spectrum??? Also why do we tend to see more african american folks in the news instead of others....???
I beleive the first problem is that our society is too freeking obsessed with sports in general "srar struck" basically... We the public continue to give Wayyyyyyy too much credit to athelets who on a whole really haven't done all that much in terms of changing lives with in our society..Yes there are some exceptions But overall many dont nor should they be looked upon as the backbone of our society..You cant compare these athletes to the good doctors, teachers, and most important good loving parents that is the foundation of our society.. So where do these fundamentals get lost and how can we take it back? How do we reinstill decent morals/values so that our youner generation reconize the many "realistic" ways to a better life??
I know I may catch heat for this But my first complaint is directed towards the lack of good parenting right up to the media and when I say media I mean in the way that they over expose and minipulate socitey...Honestly, maybe 3 out of 10 commercial is positive or helpful the rest of the time its all about selling u or some bull**** product?? I dont mind it because that is what capitialism is I guess But the constant "up in my face" with it has reached levels in which I never would imagined.... Every tv/radio channel possible is feeding us more and more garbage...now i could just tune it out right...well tell me how to tune some idiot at a resturant braging about something they or their friend just bought ect..all i wanted to do was have a nice relaxing dinner with my wife....Its like this [censored you naughty boy] never ends from the mometnt you wake up until the time you go to sleep...Day after Day after Day Its all about the dollar bill and how to get if you dont got it or how to flaunt it if you do...
Before you folks call me a sellout or uncle tom or whatever please understand that im not hating or attacking any paticular group but trying to find some common ground so that people can live a normal life in peace...cuase i sure dont see it??? Oh and before you go there I have no plans in becoming Amish or joining some secluded group ect...im talkin about giving some power back to the people is all.
