OK, time’s up. After 30 or so years, it’s time to end the Idiots’ Picnic, time to go home, time to remove the rehearsed-then-parroted nonsense from sports telecasts.
First one that must go is “transfer portal.” That’s a crock. Those are, in fact, mostly NIL price-tagged signings of college athletes without academic credentials. They are free agents, too many without the ability to read or write functional English.
In 2012, Ohio State QB Cardale Jones presaged the NIL scene when he tweeted, “Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain’t come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS.”
That sad, shameful and nationally ridiculed message is now the daily reality!
