The NCAA - The 21st Century Slave Traders

Mark Emmert and his organized crime syndicate are at it again.

Earlier this week, Georgia running back and Heisman candidate Todd Gurley was suspended indefinitely as a result of an investigation into NCAA violations. Those rules "violations" investigations stem from accusations that Gurley received payments for HIS autographs, HIS memorabilia, and HIS likeness.

Wait a minute.

So you mean to tell me that Gurley, who is a fine NFL running back prospect, will likely never play college football again because he is trying to make a cool buck or two by using HIS OWN GODDAMN NAME? HOW DARE HE! TODD GURLEY IS PURE EVIL! Todd Gurley runs ISIS. Todd Gurley waterboards cats and eats bald eagle nuggets. HE PUTS HIS FLAG UP ON HIS MAILBOX WHEN THERE IS NO MAIL IN THERE! Arrest the man! Deport him! Send him to GITMO! He is trying to extort money from the people that would gladly pay it for being.... TODD GURLEY. If you are the NCAA, or at least a Mark Emmert sycophant apologist asshole dickbag, you basically were nodding your head to every nonsense sentence in this entire paragraph and you are a BIG part of the problem.



Because the NCAA is a piece of shit organized crime crew that will never accept responsibility for anything. What do you expect?



If the NCAA is really abiding by the rules of morality, then why take that down? Because they are the devil and Saddam Hussein rolled into one corrupt mob and they are above you all.

It's no secret. The American public loves them some college football. It's fun. It's exciting. It's a chance for you to live vicariously through a bunch of young men who have already gotten laid more than you ever will. By pumping your hard-earned money into this billion dollar industry, you are a big part of the TV networks making these record setting programming deals and the creations of things like the SEC Network, PAC-12 Network and the Longhorn Network that no one has. You are putting money into the pockets of these schools and NCAA executives and out of the hands of the athletes. You are the one saying that it is OK for this gang to continue to keep these unpaid laborers at their mercy in the name of AMATEURISM.... which is easily translated as "slavery". Now this is the point where some of you are going to throw your hands up and come up with lame arguments and run to the aid of these NCAA thugs. I'll go ahead and stop you now:

The NCAA and its universities are providing an opportunity and a free education for athletes who probably couldn't afford it....
First off, how the fuck do YOU know what these kids can and cannot afford? You don't. This is you saying that these schools are plucking these kids out of ghettos and other "subpar" living conditions and putting them in crispy, well-kept facilities for them to be shaped and molded into young, revenue generating thoroughbreds for the entertainment of the masters and who will never see a dime of THEIR winnings for the sake of.... AMATEURISM. That won't fly around here. As far as the "opportunity" is concerned, I will admit that the NCAA does provide an opportunity for these young men to hone their skills and prepare them for the next level. But you know what, so does Minor League Baseball, the NBDL, and European Leagues. Difference is, those leagues will gladly PAY for their services; as they should. If the NFL had any moral compass, they would develop some sort of minor league system that would allow young prospects, who would not attend a school for whatever reason, a chance to earn a living and basically get an extended tryout to the NFL. But since the NFL is also ran by a flock of anal warts and are most definitely getting a cut of the NCAA pie, there is no shot that something like that would happen. The NCAA is the NFL's "farm system" and will remain that way. As for your 'free education'... slaves got a 'free education' as well. But only 'free education' was spelled 'Christianity'.

If you pay one player, you'll have to pay them all...
And? What about the coaches? How are they being allowed to receive MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR contracts in the name of AMATEURISM? If you were REALLY wanted make it a legit amateur system, you would have the coaches be unpaid as well. I'm more than sure you can find a bright mind in every FBS school and have him recruit, coach, draw-up game plans, mentor, discipline, give press conferences and win championships. Sounds ridiculous, right? Because it is. That is a commitment and one that should be compensated. Just like the players. Will some get paid more than others? You bet, and deservedly so. Just like any other corporation in America. The super skilled tortilla maker at Taco Cabana who can push out 150 tortillas an hour deserves to get paid more than that young dude with all of the SWAG in the world who shouldn't be trusted with food. That's just the way it works. Todd Gurley, Kenny Hill and the rest of the top tier players would get a bigger cut of the deal. They are the faces of the sport and likely the highest merchandise movers as well. Don't you think that Jamies Winston wouldn't have stolen those king crab legs (LOL) and dodged those tacklers (double LOL) in the store had he been getting a little of football money. Who knows, but there is a solid chance he doesn't.

But, these student-athletes ARE getting paid... with a scholarship!...
Miss me with this. COMPLETELY. Money comes in one form, and that is GREEN. That "payment" won't mean dick if that kid is hurt and can no longer play football. The sooner people realize that nothing in this world is free, the sooner we will see real progress. Until then, see if you can go buy that new Lexus you like with a "scholarship". The house you wanted to buy your mom that she always loved? Can't use that 'free ride' as a down payment. Remember Shabazz Napier? He's the guy that went to bed hungry on a regular basis because he wasn't allowed to eat after a certain hour. Yeah... they are certainly being "paid". Piss off.

This came down today. Supposedly the 'snitch' in this deal was a guy that was upset that Gurley dared to maximize his own profits and expand his customer base. Stupid American enterprise. What is funny about that memorabilia dealer is that he was bascially pimping out this 'story' like Gurley was with his signatures. He is the perfect example of a scorned lover. This guy is the spawn of scum and filth. I imagine this asshole with his hair slicked back with a Hawaiian shirt on with the top three buttons undone so his chest hair can bask in its Brillo-pad glory. All the while he is walking around with his fruity drink in his had with his sunglasses on in a dimly-lit room. This piece of shit smells of Brut and dollar store cigars. His nose would make Oswald Cobblepot jealous and his gut looks like he ingested a swarm of bees. His day probably consists of driving his 1993 Fiero to every school trying to ruin athletes lives with promised under the table paydays. These guys are the real enemies, Emmert. These are the guys that are stealing your stolen money, you ass-backward Robin Hood motherfucker.

The NCAA is a mob. They are a cartel. I am almost afraid to publish this post with the risk of them finding me and killing me, or at worst, suspending me indefinitely for the sake of an investigation. This beloved conglomerate of dirty money disguised as an educational institution continues to sell YOU their values while continuing to steal from the students. No one goes to the Iron Bowl, Kyle Field, The Swamp, the Rose Bowl to see a bunch of gangsters in suits. They are going to see the future of professional sports. The people are going to see the next Montana, Sanders, and Rice. They go to see who the next JJ Watt is going to be.  But the business of college sports doesn't see it that way. They see you as dollar signs that will never ask questions nor speak your concerns. They will tell you that the NCAA is a system that thrives on AMATEURISM while they cash that billion dollar check. They do not care for these players, because more are lined up outside, ready to slave themselves to the master for a taste of an unguaranteed future. It's a vicious cycle and the wheel will keep on turning, no matter what. Nothing will change. You all will get your fix on Saturdays and that is all you are worried about.

By the letter of the law, Todd Gurley did violate the NCAA rules. But that doesn't make the rules right. Adolf Hitler had rules for his concentration camps. Saddam had some regulations. The rules are put in place to keep the players from profiting off of their own work. Those are some shitty rules. Those are some slave rules. The schools are not innocent either. They play with dirty money as well. You see all of the memorabilia out there. Hell, there are a few here in town that have signed items from past collegiate greats. There's some Johnny Football stuff out there. The VY memorabilia is still hot out there. I have a friend who has a football signed by a few old Longhorns. Think that stuff is legit? I don't think so.I think that Todd Gurley is going to be OK. He is still going to get drafted pretty high in the draft. He is only a cog in the wheel. I have a cousin who is pretty damn good at baseball, and I hope he is good enough to go pro straight out of high school. I have a friend who has a brother that is one of the top recruits at tight end. I hope that he understands what he is going to go through once he goes to the next level. I have a son who is possibly the next Jose Altuve and I won't let him fall into the trap.

There are a lot of words that you can use to describe the NCAA. Greedy, selfish, thugs, assholes, dicks, and many more that I could think of but I won't because I am going to end this here. Fuck the NCAA and its beliefs. Fuck those who believe that it is OK for them to steal from their student athletes. Hopefully we can all one day see them for what they are, and that is the new generation of slave traders.

Until next time, cabrones
