Diversions, exploitation and the 60 million dollar slave (pt 3)

During the Super Bowl, did those who gathered on the couch discuss the purposeful, political, and social silence of each player and how ignorance of the past has made it difficult for Black professional athletes to unite and confront the issues of the present?

During this major diversion of frolic and excitement--was there even a remote dialogue of how the lack of history of what and who proceeded them has played a major role in helping to maintain a corrupt, unfair, and destructive system?

Hidden Brilliance

Throughout my young and adult life, I've always been impressed by witnessing the informative debates about sports personalities and statistics. Hearing the memorization and elocution of facts concerning professional athletes' careers has always been amazing.

During heated debates of who the G.O.A.T (Greatest of all time) is, and breaking down point averages, career highlights, yards per carry, 3-point, passing yards, rushing yards, receiving yards, rushing touchdowns, average assist, free throw percentage, rebounds per game, assist, steals, blocks, turnovers, and how many triple-doubles a player averages can be easily remembered by the multitude of Black sports fans all across the country.

These same Black fans fail to have any interest in statistics and topics that are relevant to our Black survival, struggle, accomplishment, and development.
