Word came down the other day that mercurial 5star cornerback Cormani McClain would be hitting the transfer portal. Of course this instantly became a referendum on Deion Sanders and how he is already a failure and will always be a failure because, well, because he’s loud and arrogant I guess? I really truly am tired of the College Football Fanbase and how they maintain a double standard to everything that involves those who they don’t like or their own team. So let me get this straight: Cormani hops in the portal and Sanders is a failure as a coach. Alabama loses two starters to Ohio State, but the new coach who lost them is a savior. Heck, more on Ohio State who added four starters via the portal this year and nobody acted at all like it was a bad thing. Presently they are hunting for more ‘dawgs’ and again, fans are like “go get them” including calling for Cormani to come through.
That’s the double standard at play. That is also what scares me the most about what I am seeing around me as a society. We are mirroring this behavior at every possible level inside and outside of sports. You see it as young as youth sports when parents get really pissed that a good player left to join a different team or a coach started ‘a super team’ and suddenly it’s ‘screw that guy he’s horrible’. I know it sounds like a stretch now but the insider vs. outsider mentality from which this springs ends up playing out on the biggest stages, which is why and how we end up with a very angry Israel loaded with up to 90 nuclear missiles suddenly telling countries they intend to attack them and they better not fight back.
I’m going to do more sports tomorrow, because I got on one right there. It’s been happening for days now.

- I need to do a post about the rise of sex scammers and how they are driving kids to suicide. There is a lot to unpack there.
