The Sha'Carri Richardson Suspension

The Richardson affair is one of the metrics that acts as a societal placeholder.

Sha'Carri Richardson was suspended for 30 days for marijuana use.  It's against the rules in the sport.  Sha'Carri herself seems to be holding herself accountable.  From what I can tell, she not only explained herself, but is taking her suspension as best she can, as well as showing the disappointment that any young adult would in such a high wattage public situation.  Her demeanor seems admirable.

Not so for the hustlers and grifters with the large megaphones:

Here's Seth Rogen's tired take:

Notice the use of 'racism' and 'hatred' by someone who obviously knows nothing about either, let alone track and field.  The 1988 reference to FloJo is the dead giveaway.  Typical thoughtless and lazy white liberal on display.

Gabrielle Union weighed in:

Her concise tweet is indicative of many things.  In today's 'everyone gets a trophy' world, if someone you like breaks a rule you don't like, then it should be ignored.  Is that how things should work?  Is that what you teach your children?

The Supreme Grifter, Lioness of Midnight, Hustler Supreme, Ultimate TWTR Cyclops, Female Trump Equivalent and First of Her Name AOC weighed in with nothing less than Apex Predator zeitgeist Grift:

The marijuana rules in sports weren't 'systemically racist' .... until now apparently.  Because every year is Year Zero, people brought up the Michael Phelps incident in 2008, until they realized that he was suspended based on no positive test, and a photo where you had to guess the date.  It was also after the 2008 olympics, and he lost a major endorsement from Kellogg's.  But none of this matters.  What matters is the grift, the opportunity to howl about racism, the rabid desire for likes and follows.  As I've mentioned often, the hypocrisy is built in.  

Our young people see this happening.  What do they learn?  That certain rules are for certain people.  There are no standards, and that if you're someone of note, the Cabal will stand up for you and go to the wall to see to it that your'e defended in the court of public opinion.  

It's why many of my teenage students think that there is some sort of conspiracy against them if they break the rules at school.  After all, if you yell loudly enough, and talk about oppression, don't rules and laws vanish?  Out on the street, they find out the hard way that they don't.

And that's how things are these days.
