© 2016 Jim Spence - Pictures don't lie. There are tens of thousands of empty seats in virtually
every NFL stadium every week. Television ratings are plummeting. However, it is only after you read a few news articles on this topic, many written by clueless journalists, that you begin to understand all of the pieces that make up the black self-sabotage puzzle. In the NFL, black self-sabotage gets an assist from white liberal progressives like Commissioner Roger Goodell and his stooge, Democrat Joe Lockhart. These men, and many others like them, have been allowing naïve millionaire black athletes to engage in anti-American antics on the job. Yes, they have allowed these naive players to do these things right in front of pro-American paying customers. One would think that most players could connect the dots on their own and project what is going to happen when they trash America. However, these players cannot connect the dots. How can they be so dumb? It is easy. When critical thinking is neither encouraged nor taught in public schools kids are not just ignorant, they are dumb too.
Understanding black self-sabotage in the NFL begins with a failing public education
system, controlled by the Democrat’s strongest constituency, the National
Education Association. Politically, the failing public education system is propped up by blacks, who vote for Democrats 90+ percent of the time. Amazingly, rather than teach inner city children to read, write, and do
mathematics, the NEA insures that most classroom teachers spend their time indoctrinating
children to parrot the Democrat's victim-oriented line of thinking. Kids emerge having been taught to embrace their victim-hood.

What about proficiency in English? Just 15 percent of
Baltimore students passed the state's English test.
Know this. The Democrats have a stranglehold on both education funds
and the entire education system in Baltimore. What are they doing about this ongoing
travesty? The answer is simple. They do nothing except pretend they are doing
their jobs. At one Baltimore high school last year diplomas were literally
given away to a senior class in which 90 percent of the students tested out at
the LOWEST POSSIBLE math score. Only one student came even close to being
proficient. Still and sadly, one could see the naïve parents and family members applauding enthusiastically during the conferring of diplomas, despite the fact the entire “graduation”
ceremony was a sham. Amazingly, some of the students actually received "achievement awards" and college scholarships.
The diplomas given to these kids asserted
that they could function at a 12th-grade level. That is fraud. Most students who got a diploma could not
function at a seventh- or eighth-grade level. As a matter of routine, public schools lie to themselves and their kids all over America.
Those in charge of this sham will never explain to the kids
that these diplomas are fraudulent. They won’t tell them they will be unable to
pass a civil service exam or do anything but flunk out if they go to college. They run a protection racket, not education facilities.
Astonishingly, the NAACP does not fight educational fraud, it promotes it. The NAACP is calling
for a moratorium on charter schools despite the fact that charter schools are the only hope for
black kids who are interested in learning.
Most freshly minted black NFL
millionaires have emerged from our failed educational environments. Many of these young men, who are blessed with the athletic gifts necessary to compete at
the highest levels, are so ignorant they can be conned into engaging in self-sabotage. Despite being paid
millions, many NFL players can’t do basic math. Accordingly, it should come as
no surprise these players cannot understand the dumb economics of running off customers and running off television audiences. They cannot see that they are going to severely diminish the revenue streams that
fund their huge salaries.
Economics does not care about ignorance. Instead it simply prices ignorance into the equation. There are stunning ripple effects coming to the NFL and player salaries. Revenue estimates are going to
plunge when it is time for television networks to bid for the rights to show these NFL games. As sure as night follows day, the value of the player’s long term contracts are going to shrink substantially. Yes, poorly educated NFL players are about to
get their first ever lesson in economics. It is a lesson that most Democrats
refuse to learn let alone teach. Teaching black kids something besides victim-hood has not occurred to them yet.
