Those poor guys over at The Babylon Bee are gonna be out of business by the end of the year. 😭
How can they compete with these very real real headlines, my friends?
Isn't it amazing? A grown human adult actually thinks that was a serious and logical headline, and another grown human adult edited and published it!
Sadly, no!
To satisfy the woke virtue signalers, the main point of this piece – buried in the article – is that reporters aren't constantly asking for public policy positions from pro athletes any more.
Yeah, so this writer thinks police love to shoot black people, probably because he's never done an ounce of armchair Google research in his life.
Putting that aside, he's super upset that we're not getting foreign policy downloads from LeBron, who is probably too busy trying to get past the first page of whatever book he's currently pretending to read.
Yes, it's oh-so-sad that pro athletes aren't constantly getting grilled about Russia-Ukraine geopolitics, the philosophical frameworks that undergird our societal mores, the state of police training and criminal justice reform, and/or the ethics of killing children in the womb.
Just like I expect a thorough policy position about Taiwan from my mailman, or an analysis of the border crisis from my banker, so too must we expect political reporting from ball players. If we simply want to enjoy a game we paid good money to watch, especially if we're white, then we are racists for supporting the salaries of freely employed sports celebrities.
I guess the best thing white people can do is to not attend or watch NBA games. That's the best way to support the black millionaires who are richer and more privileged than 99% of their countryman!
Here were just a few glorious replies to the headline:
I wonder if this writer ordered Asian food while he was writing this masterpiece. If so, he was being fed by Asian workers a day after a mass shooting at an Asian church in Laguna Woods, California.
I've been told (by Deadspin) that this is what racism looks like. Sad!
If we all stand together, we can overcome this horrible scourge that blights our land!
