Post by TD-40 »

NBA Commissioner sees a pathological problem that persists around the NBA. Players are lonely, sad, and seem to be depressed and he calls it a "generational problem":

Our civilization is f***ed up, the sooner it collapes the better. The problem is most idiots can't figure out what happened. The people who are running this counterfeiting operation designed it that way. Not to say this is the only problem but most people really are idiots so being in this position is of no surprise since they can't reason things out and act on their animal instincts at best...

Although it is hard to sympathize with them, I could definately see how it could be a miserable existance.

-The physical grind on the body for practice, training, and the games is more than it has ever been because players are bigger, stronger, and faster than ever before.

-The uprooting travel can keep players away from friends and family for weeks at a time.

-The pressure to perform is higher than ever before because of electronic and social media chatter.

-Young, formerly impoverished players get their millions, buy some high end items, then don't know what else to do with their good fortune other than consume.

I think that all those things combined can grate on professional athletes, especially in the NBA with the players often starting at age 19. What kind of professional pressure were you under at age 19? Certainly not multi-million dollars worth of pressure.

American women have worsened tremendously. And they are rapidly getting worse by the month. It's America's heinous hate culture. Over 99.7% of American women under 25 are heavily lesbian. Many are de-maturing in college, becoming like spoiled 7-year olds. You can see it in their duck-face facial expressions, the personality of toxic hate and immaturity.

A lot of it has to do with "stranger-danger" taught in our schools and by families. People who are toxic as adults have been taught that the entire Earth is more violent and dangerous than Berlin at the height of World War II. As if even the safest streets in the world have more than 1,000+ drive-by shootings per day. In other words, Americans are taught at a young age that the entire world is the hood. When a crime does happen, to Americans, all of society is suspect.

And now even college and professional sports players are no longer sought after by American women anymore. American women have become so spoiled, immature, toxic, and man-hating that a guy's fame means nothing anymore. And with the filing of false rape charges on every single single/unaccompanied man exploding like Tsar Bomba in popularity nationwide, it's no wonder depression is flooding the entire realm of professional sports.

Good points here. A lot of these guys came from totally broken homes in the ghetto with absentee parents and all the sudden they have millions coming their way clueless how to handle it. And everyone knows this and is out to fleece them. It's no wonder so many end up broke.

If they even save just $2 million, they can get $50k/year just on the interest alone in a savings account without ever having to work again. Decent life in many places in the US, or a very lavish life abroad. But most end up penniless taking up careers selling insurance or teaching high school gym.

Just follow the money, the bank is funding this. This is what they want. The want to subsidize the idiots to breed to lower the brain output. Most women are to stupid to figure out what is happening....
