NCAA | Racist & Sexist?!

I’m not usually the one to call the kettle black. That would be racist; wouldn’t it? I mean… I’m a big fat white guy enjoying my privileges and all. But the NCAA seems to be one of the most sexist and racist billionaire businesses in America. I’m not saying that they ARE racist and sexist, but they sure do look segregated in the race and sex not-so-safe space. They should work on their image a little before they start pointing fingers at North Carolina’s HB2. What? Huh? What is HB2? You know… the BATHROOM BILL.

For those of you who are not into sports and live under a rock, the NCAA is pulling some major championships out of North Carolina in protest of NC’s gender-specific new bathroom bill. They want to punish NC for their organized bigotry. Haha. Hahahahahahaha. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha! That is absolutely laughable on so many levels.

Take your phone to an NCAA event. Take a few pictures. You will see so many racial and sexual divides that are more glaring than in any bathroom in America. There are black guys on the court. There are white guys relaxing on the bench. There are white guys in suits running the show while cute little girls in short skirts entertain them. Nooooooooo. They are not racist or sexist in the least. And how much are those black guys on the court getting paid? Oopsie. Nada! Wait. Well-paid white guys in suits. A lot of broke, sweaty black guys that do everything the coaches say. Scantily clad girls dancing around. Oh wait! There are girls sports too. Yes there are, but there are no guys playing with them. I don’t see any girls playing with guys either. There seems to be a bit of a disparate impact there. (That’s legal talk for not-necessarily-intended-but-pretty-darned-apparent discrimination on the grounds of sex and race).

I used to know some SADD leaders who were getting drunk and driving all over the county. Everybody hates a hypocrite. But they didn’t get caught and their mommies never suspected them of any wrongdoing because they were the leaders of Students Against Drunk Driving. The problem with the NCAA is that it is so very glaringly obvious, yet few will dare to mention the disparity. And now they are getting a bit uppity and pointing fingers at others. Shame on them!

In the end, North Carolina’s bill will probably be dismissed as illegal eventually because they (like politicians usually do) sort of missed the point. They made a law about physical attributes and doctor’s opinions, yet ignored the obvious gender references on the signs. There are people who are born looking like and consequently declared the opposite sex than they truly, physically, scientifically are. It happens. Oopsie. In addition, any guy can put on a dress and look like the girl’s bathroom sign. Likewise any girl can put on pants and look like the boy’s bathroom sign. Since the law is designed according to physical attributes, the signs should reflect those obvious choices. Am I saying that we should put penis’s and vaginas on the door? Well, it might just clarify the issue for some confused souls. In the meantime, the NCAA can just shut up before we decide to embarrass them for their glaringly obvious (but not necessarily illegal) sexism and racism.
