oh, here we fucking go again....

An 'American' won the NYC marathon. Uh-huh... I would 'lurv' to compose a fucking rap song about sports and false nationalism. I really would. Stupid spectator sport, hey... and the ones who do it? Get crippled for life. Now that is something to want to achieve to.... Oh YEAH.

I have been behind the scenes at the 1972 Summer Olympics, and I KNOW how those fucking reporters work.

But I have never seen the assinine sort that just came out because an 'American' won the NYC marathon. Or the blow-back, because the guy was a refugee from Eritrea, and got citizenship in 1991.

So the super-right is going ON about it, fits into Obama isn't an American, don't you know, and this GUY, who won a race, gets vilified from certain elements, and it is unwarranted, and just horrible.

What bothers me about 'sports' is that is a nationalistic way of 'waging war'. An author here, Elfriede Jelinek, had a seven hour extravaganza produced in Vienna about seven years ago, called 'Sport'. It was amazing.

And yes, I saw it.

There is something I still do not get about all this. If someone wins in a sport, he or she is the best and should be recognised as 'the best'. The nationality is not really all that important to me. They were the best, and more power to them.

But the patriotic 'Hurrah', and turn it into a nation's triumph? Those people are sick in the head. They never fight for a 'nation'. They do it for THEMSELVES, and work hard to get that award, and deserve to get recognition for themselves. Not for a 'nation'.

BUT... in keeping with the current hateful, disgusting, irrelevant reporting being done right now, and a low-flying reference to 'Obama is not an American, but was born in Kenya theme' ....

This young man gets THIS in the news.
