Hi all. Fultznation rise here.
You know, weve got some pretty high strung, narrow minded peeps here. Bladefd, MillerTime, and hitleRRR3 to name a few. And I know theyre licking their chops at the chance to purposely twist my words to deflect the conversation.
But what I am asking is not “is it equally important for athletes and police officers to obey the law?”
100% of people will agree it would be more ideal and reassuring to know police always obey the law.
But the question is, if we cannot prevent every athlete - most of whom have MILLIONS OF DOLLARS on the line - from making bad decisions and running afoul of the law... how do we expect “reforms” to have such a blanket impact among tens of thousands of police officers making 70k plus benefits?
On the athletic field, fights often break out. Tension is high, testosterone is high, adrenaline is high. If players had guns holstered on their hip during games, the whole league would be dead in a week. This is a natural byproduct of this combination of human nature and circumstance.
We ask cops to work in high stress, high crime areas, and engage all day long with suspects who have mental health issues, are under drug psychosis, have been reported for violence/erratic behavior, and sometimes carry unlicensed weapons.
Consider also that you arent gonna higher granny mabel, or steve urkel for police work. Just like you wouldnt put them on a football field. Most cops are adult males who have the necessary testosterone to be willing to work in such environments in the first place. If, with constant league conduct policy reforms, and million dollar contracts on the line, we cant stop athletes from fighting ON the field and committing domestic violence, robbery, assault etc OFF the field...
How do we magically end all police abuse?
People badly, badly want to believe there is a cure-all for this. And theyre now going full angsty-neurotic-soyboy public meltdown until everyone consoles them by agreeing to their tantrums of idealism.
But we never ever have deeper discussions about the human nature involved in these issues, where we admit it’s not so simple as “make republicans do it our way and itll just be perfect you RACISTS!!!!!!!”
It’s very hard for intelligent people to have conversations with dumb people, for reasons that are obvious but still may be worth reviewing another time.
But the overall point is, human nature changes very, very slowly. Weve evolved some since the days of Sparta, but thats because weve LITERALLY evolved over those few thousand years. We’re not gonna suddenly evolve anthropologically into a zero-conflict society next week. But that seems to be the outcome mant SJWs are picketing for.
Anyway, crickets and/or “orange man racist” chants incoming. Nevertheless...
Your thoughts?
