NFL = National Fascist League (819 hits)


From The Ramparts
Junious Ricardo Stanton
NFL= National Fascist League

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power” Benito Mussolini

When you look at professional sports, especially pro football in the US, you notice a pattern; almost every stadium is named after a corporate entity. Take a look at the NFL stadium in your town or city, more than likely it is named after some corporate entity like Nissan, Mercedes Benz, AT&T, Lincoln Financial, MetLife, FedEx, Bank of America, M&T Bank, Lucas Oil to name a few.
So what, what’s the big deal you ask? The big deal is the NFL which according to its articles of incorporation stands for National Football League should be more accurately referred to as the National Fascist League! Why are you going there, why do you say that you ask? Because most if not all of the NFL’s stadiums (as well as most Major League Baseball and the NBA venues) have been paid for with tax payer dollars but they carry the names of corporate entities!
You as a tax payer have helped these franchises become extremely profitable. What I ask did/do you get out of it? Do you personally receive a check or dividend from the local team or the NFL? Does the city or county in which the local NFL stadium is located get any money from the team owner or the NFL?
The use of taxpayer dollars had to be approved by a governing body. A city council, county commissioners or a special authority had to approve the measure. In some circles this is called a public-private partnership. In the case or cases where and when the private entity or entities (such as a professional sports team or league) get the major benefit of the deal, it’s not really capitalism per se; it’s really either socialism or fascism. In the case of the NFL, we the people got the shaft so it was not socialism. Other than being able to root for the local team or that particular sport, what did/do you get out of it? How much money do you get from that arrangement? How has your community benefitted from this deal? How much does hooping and hollering and wearing a team’s paraphernalia count and does that pay any of your bills?
Until two years ago the NFL offices were tax exempt. http://time.com/3839164/nfl-tax-exempt-sta... The NFL office was a 501(c) 6 registered trade organization. The individual NFL teams pay taxes but the NFL office was registered as a tax exempt non profit entity. Keep in mind; this designation had to be approved by the US government specifically the IRS despite the fact that at the time of the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 a monopoly was being created which is against the law. But US government agencies like the Justice Department and IRS looked the other way.
What is the probability of you or me as private citizens or fledgling entrepreneurs being allowed to skirt Justice Department and IRS rules and regulations?! This clearly shows the power of money and the nexus between money favorable government treatment which almost inevitably leads to corruption.
There is nothing wrong with public private partnerships but they should be a win-win arrangements that benefit the public in some tangible way just like it puts millions of dollars in the NFL team owners’ pockets. What do we get out of the use of our tax dollars?
The NFL gets paid billions to broadcast their games on the radio, television, (which until recently were considered publicly owned air space) cable and streaming services, how much of this money do we get since our tax dollars helped pay for the venues?! http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/09/news/nfl-s... There is also the question of who owns the airways. In recent years US court rulings have said the airways aren’t free or the public domain. https://www.cruiselinehistory.com/supreme-... In fact most municipalities give huge tax breaks to the NFL teams in their jurisdictions. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archi... Plus the military pays the NFL for the jet flyovers and pre-game ceremonies! What do we get out of that except brainwashing?
In Philadelphia when the Eagles and Phillies were negotiating for their new stadiums several years ago, part of the agreement was they would kick in money to help the schools which helped lower the burden on the taxpayers and helped the school district. But this type of arrangement is an anomaly rather than the norm.
The NFL owners recently bent to pressure from Trump and their corporate sponsors and the owners voted unanimously to arbitrarily and capriciously ban players from refusing to stand for the Star Spangled Banner or using on-field gestures of dissent. Trump pressured the NFL to shut down their players much like Adolph Hitler punished a German soccer team in 1934 for failing to give the Nazi salute. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/german-f... Do you see any similarities?

What I ask did/do you get out of it? Fun rooting for our team, that's it.

Do you personally receive a check or dividend from the local team or the NFL? NO.

Does the city or county in which the local NFL stadium is located get any money from the team owner or the NFL? maybe the sale tax on the ticket, maybe!


Brother Doctor Junious Ricardo Stanton you got me thinking.

******************************************************

Facism

The only official definition of Fascism comes from Benito Mussolini, the founder of fascism,

in which he outlines three principles of a fascist philosophy.

1."Everything in the state". The Government is supreme and the country is all-encompasing, and all within it must conform to the ruling body, often a dictator.

2."Nothing outside the state".

******************************************************

Nella mia giovinezza ho imparato da Sophia Loren, Luigina "Gina " Lollobrigida e Claudia

Cardinale odiato Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, nessun italiano avrebbe detto una buona

parola su di lui..... Più tardi ho imparato che ha ucciso più africani in Habashaya, Leebya,

Eritrea e la Somalia di Haile Salassissy

******************************************************

To COMPARE the GREATEST, Economic Urban Stimulus and Jobs Creation in the Top 32 Cities

of America AND international Appeal/Marketing to a euroPEON murderer/genocider….is EVIL NONSENSE

…..AND

1. antiAfricanAmerican Progress/Success and Growth

2. antiAfricanAmerican Culture and Physcially, Mental Supremacy in American Pie Sport

3. antiAfricanAmerican Families and YOUTH

........STOP your INSULTING, Disrespect and Intellectual Moronism at BIA....!

Yes I did delete your off topic ignorant drivel. It is clear you know nothing of economics or how things work in this country. To call the NFL an economic stimulus for Black people is insanely inaccurate and foolish. You choose to overlook the facts I cite (the NFL is a monopoly it gets huge tax breaks from cities and counties and the federal government) and repeat your foolish gibberish.
Obviously you can neither read with comprehension nor do you have any knowledge of global geo-political realties/history. FYI, Fascism was a word coined by Benito Mussolini but Hitler was also a fascist as was Francisco Franco in Spain . The US had its fair share of fascists ideologues in the 1930's who financially supported Hitler and plotted to overthrow the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp4h39qJKq... Today the United States shares many if not all of the major traits of a fascist nation http://www.fascismusa.com
These are well documented facts but once again Robert Powell demonstrates he is an ignorant troll hellbent on high jacking any and everything I post on this Website. I can deal with our philosophical and ideological disagreements but the sad truth is, Robert Powell is a danger and threat to the intellectual and informational wellbeing of our people/community. Ignorance like his is a real danger and as such I will no longer give him a vehicle to spew his dimwitted drivel. Henceforth I will block Robert Powell from my posts.

Brother Doctor Junious Ricardo Stanton, If I may. I for one enjoy reading the way you deal with such Ignorance incomprehension · unawareness · unconsciousness · inexperience · innocence · unfamiliarity with · lack of enlightenment about · lack of knowledge about · lack of information about · cluelessness · nescience · lack of knowledge · lack of education · unenlightenment · benightedness · lack of intelligence · unintelligence · stupidity · foolishness · idiocy · denseness · brainlessness · mindlessness · slow-wittedness · thickness · dimness · dumbness · dopiness · doziness just to mention just a few synonyms that come to mind of Robert Powell.

Unfortunately there are a few lost souls out here today with these backward attitudes that need to be exposed to our readers, here on Black In America and our people are learning to deal with such Ignorance through the skillfulness you display in dealing with "SMOKEY."

So if you will, see fit to continue to bare that burden on the behalf of all of us here on Black In America, to reopen your blogs after a cooling off period, which is determined by you to Robert Powell, that we may learn a different method, a higher calling, without losing your primary objective of your subject matter.

I for one enjoy your style reading your wit, your mental sharpness and inventiveness; keen intelligence of the subject matter.


I that you in advance for your time here on Black In America Brother Doctor Junious Ricardo Stanton.

Deacon Gray, while it may be enjoyable for you to read my responses to people like Robert Powell,I am finding it to be a total waste of valuable time. Powell suffers from what I call psychosclerosis a closed calcified mind. I take this seriously I don't have the tolerance to deal with a troll like him who if he was really intelligent would realize he is embarrassing himself and wasting our time with his foolishness. Most discerning people see Powell is intellectually challenged and his fund of information about politics, economics, history religion etc is abysmally low. He also lacks the writing skills to communicate effectively so it is not worth responding to him.
There will be enough opportunities to exchange ideas and information with those who are serious about our situation who want to see a different perspective and want to make a positive difference in the world, so dealing with a troll like Powell is counterproductive.
