The New York Times--even the sports section is ideologically pure in the paper of record



I only rarely pick up the New York Times anymore. The New York Times status as a fair, objective, dedicated only to the highest standards of journalism, publication is beyond reproach. That is according to the criteria of the liberal-elite. In other words, the New York Times is a leftist newspaper and with the current White House, it's Pravda with big words.
But this past Friday I journeyed out of Queens (insane taxes, insane prices, uber-liberal, incredibly crowded, zero culture) to Manhattan (insane taxes, insane prices, uber-liberal, incredibly crowded, but cultural capitol of world) to attend an academic conference. And being in full fledged elitist mode, I got a copy of the New York Times. Yet you can't take Queens out of the boy, I turned to the sports section first. I had encountered a new world of sports coverage. No, this was not the Mets stink, Yankees' bats anemic, can Jackson turn around the Knicks sports section I was used to, but sports coverage conforming to the academically approved methodology of critical social science, also known as dialectical materialism. The purpose of all intellectual activities under this perspective, whether science, social science or reporting the news, is to change society by empowering the collective and fighting individualistic exploitation (what less enlightened still insist on calling individual rights). Two "sports" articles immediately caught my eye. One concerned the White House conference on concussions, "A Meeting Too Long in Coming", and the other about "Palestine" playing for a spot in 2015 Asian Cup, "For Palestine, a Final May Just Be the Start".

As befitting the staid paper of record, the New York Times generally couches religious adherence to ideological purity in lofty academic prose. If you are going to carry ads for 6 digit priced watches and 8 digit real estate, all while supporting Occupy Wall Street, a certain linguistic savoir faire is essential. After all proper decorum must be maintained at all times while supporting terrorists- er, pardon me, militants. Thus the language of "A Meeting Too Long in Coming" is surprising as it is simply an anti-NFL screed. According to the article " concussions are a national issue, apparently out of selfishness. It's not the N.F.L. people care about--it's their own children who got everyone thinking something monumental must be done about head injuries in sports....Tisch, the Giants co-owner, said...he was deciding to donate $10 million to the neurosurgery department at the David Geffen School of Medicine at U.C.L.A...His donation came after years of his family's involvement in pro football, a sport in which concussions have been a problem for decades. Today, though, Tisch has a son who plays wide receiver in high school...Concussions, it seems, have become a big deal to him now that they could happen to his own children".

The NFL is fair game as its owned by white males, promotes competition, and has not been nationalized

The NFL is fair game as its owned by white males, promotes competition, and has not been nationalized. Of course the NFL needs no sympathy as its ability to print money is second to only that of the socialist regime. And its quite true that the NFL does nothing out of beneficence, but rather does all to keep money flowing in. But had it not occurred to this writer that the NFL was indeed forced to act on concussions now, but forced to act because the scope of their dangers is only being known now. Are we to presuppose that say 30 years ago, players did not know about the long term dangers of concussions, their private doctors did not know about the long term dangers of concussions, but team owners somehow did and deliberately ignored the issue. And believe that owners are acting because their children are now playing football? My guess is that children of football owners were more likely to be playing football 20 or 30 years ago than today. The article "For Palestine, a Final May Be Just the Start" outlines the Palestinian Soccer team's heroic struggle to make the Asian Cup despite "Israel's restrictions on movement between the West Bank and Gaza had made it virtually impossible for the team to train together in the past" Why would Israel possibly want to restrict who enters from Gaza? Its not like Jewish children's lives have any value, well not in the eyes of the world at least. And, horribly, "one of the team's players, Sameh Mar'aba, was arrested..An Israeli military official confirmed that Mar'aba had been arrested and that, under questioning, he had admitted to meeting an activist from Hamas's military wing in Qatar before being given money, a cellphone and written messages which he was requested to transfer to Hamas activists ." Imagine the gall of the Zionist occupiers, arresting a brave freedom fighter right before he had a soccer game to play. Due to Israel's unspeakable oppression of the Palestinian soccer team no wonder "The Palestinian Football Association, led by Jibril Rajoub, Yasir Arafat's former West Bank security chief and one of Fatah's highest-ranking members, had threatened to take the issue to FIFA's Congress in June in Brazil, and to call for the Israeli Football Association to be suspended." Well, Palestine did win, 1-0, what other soccer score is there ever. This despite, in the words of Dave Zirin, progressive sportswriter who has accused Israel of state sponsored terror, having "been crippled for decades by the violent targeting of football players on both the Olympic and national teams by the Israel Defense Force." Palestine will now play in the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia. One thing is certain, the Palestinian team will not need maximum security to avoid murder by Israelis, the way every Israeli team routinely does to avoid being massacred by Palestinians.

Soccer is being used by the New York Times as a weapon against its arch villain, the "Zionist occupier"

It is fitting that Soccer is being used by the New York Times as a weapon against its arch villain, the "Zionist occupier". Soccer being an international sport is easily the world's most political sport, with clubs and their followers often having a political ideology. In fact, politics and soccer are often described with good reason as being inseparable. In Europe, many clubs and supporters actually revel in a fascist image. However, in the United States, reflecting the idyllic Hitler -Stalin pre-invasion of Russia romance, Progressives, the direct heirs of Stalin, view soccer favorably even while decrying sports such as baseball and football as the opiate of the masses to use the words of the Bible; the Progressive's Bible, that is, namely Marx. So soccer while promoting vicious inter and intra country feuds is a focal point of a great cooperation too- that is cooperation between Nazi, progressive leftist and radical Islamist in their common cause of bringing down the United States , annihilating the "Zionist Entity" and making the world Judenfrei. According to Wikipedia, "In Poland, a common way to humiliate fans of the opposing team is to call them 'Jews'. Songs and banners with anti-Semitic themes are common. In May 2010, ultras of "Resovia Rzeszów" displayed a transparent, reading "Death to crooked noses" and a picture of Jew with a Yarmulka." Some American conservatives are definitely not enamored of soccer. According to Glenn Beck, President Obama's policies "are the World Cup" of "political thought", saying of the World Cup and soccer "It doesn't matter how you try to sell it to us; it doesn't matter how many celebrities you get; it doesn't matter how many bars open early; it doesn't matter how many beer commercials they run,... we don't like soccer, we want nothing to do with it... I hate it so much, probably because the rest of the world likes it so much, and they riot over it, and they continually try to jam it down our throat." Glenn Beck was skewered for his soccer views in the Huffington Post by the aforementioned Dave Zirin. To paraphrase what I had written in a previous article on this site, perhaps socialists do have a special affinity for soccer because it produces goals at the same rate a socialist economy produces goods. And as soccer evolved from kicking the severed heads of adversaries, perhaps with its original projectile restored, it can remain a rare bridge between the traditions of crumbling European democracies and the new European religious order. In truth, Progressive-Marxist-Liberals no more care about soccer than they care about women's or gay rights, ignoring the plight of women and gays in Islamic countries, than they care about minority rights, their programs are geared to prevent minorities from achieving economic success. All their positions are merely expediencies in service to the ultimate goal of destroying any remnant of individual rights and creating a one world collective. No area, not even sports (and certainly not science, but that is another article) is beyond being incorporated in the Progressive-Marxist- Liberal memeplex and its current blending with the radical Islamic mememplex. In full disclosure, having spent time in England many decades ago the author regularly played pickup soccer back then!
