It bothers no one that Blacks are overrepresented as NBA players. No one suggests there is a problem that requires changing the rules of the gwme. We just enjoy watching basketball played at the highest level. Why can't people who like classical music likewise enjoy hearing it played at its highest level regardless of which races are under or overrepresented among the players?
I find the tall ones to be most inequitable. Perhaps we could shorten their legs to make the game more equable. It's only fair, and would open the game up to many more people that historically have never had this opportunity. With the price of fentynal at historical lows, and the availability of machetes this could really help the game. Instead of the NBA draft being televised, we could have the "Night of Equality," on pay per view, where the new players will be measured and their excess height privileges will be removed. Of course some will complain about losing their privileges, right and left, but as the old saying goes, if you want to make an omelet, you'll have to break a few eggs. In this case legs. This is the only way to make the game equatible. I have this all figured out, except for the screaming.
No no no. You have equity all wrong. It is not about making the competition equal; is about making the outcome equal! So instead we need to have every game everywhere all at once end in a tie (or maybe we should call that a win) 60 to 60. The refs and players will be given strict instructions on how to make this happen. Side games employing competition will be severely penalized.
Excellent observation. I see now we must look at this holistically. If stubbs keeps hitting those 3 pointers, it's going to cost him an eye.
But to keep our carbon footprint down, we will have to dispense with the traditional hot poker and utilize a pointed stick. Size and angle to be determined by a diverse committee.
In the future we might find it necessary to lower the hoop as well. This dimension could be determined by a littler of Leftwaffe harpies, or the panelists from that daytime program, The View.
Again no need to lower the hoop; all scores will be the same. Equity of outcomes. Already well established in public schools and colleges. We’re all winners and we’re all exactly equal in outcomes! Hoorah
Well, you have come up a solution to the screaming problem, but I assume that DEI advocates have no problem with the gross underrepresentation of Whites and Asians on NBA basketball teams. Is your understanding that they are seeing equal outcomes across the board for Whites and Asians too? LeBron would have a problem with that, I am pretty sure.
Joking aside; Equity is truly about equal outcomes as measured in USD. That is, all US dollars are to be distributed equally to every man, woman, and child so that every person is equal in wealth. And that redistribution will reoccur every so often (eg monthly probably) so that the population doesn’t drift in to non-equity. It is explicitly not about equality or equal opportunity; it is about sustained equal outcomes. Ongoing redistribution of wealth. I’m going to laugh when the Left elite really have to go poor to be equal. What a fuckin shock they are in for. Lol.
Check out Kurt Vonnegut's 1961 short story "Harrison Bergeron" which explored the same theme. In that dystopia, mandatory leg weights were used as a way to equalize for disparate running abilities. That should work for basketball too and thereby solve the screaming problem.
"It bothers no one that Blacks are overrepresented as NBA players."
Oh I'm sure it bothers a few people out there =)
But the difference here is simple: The folks who are bothered by Black overrepresentation in the NBA don't have the power to do anything about it. But the arts & entertainment world is flat-out different. Politically, they (mostly) lean left. So, any groundswell of complaints vis-à-vis social justice are likely to get a fair hearing at some point--it's a sympathetic audience.
Ultimately this is the source of a lot of traditionalist conservative frustration: American pop culture is largely shaped by people who are at least left-of-center.
We’re going to overcome this through equity of outcomes in which each team will always score the same number of points and still call it a win. Equity of outcomes is really quite simple. Anyone wanting to make a poor person’s wealth equal to their own (ie equity) merely has to give that a person their money until the numbers match. But really those rich that want equity are hypocrites because they won’t share half their wealth with the poor. They are Socialists and Communists that want Other People’s (like me who already has paid millions in taxes) money to be taken.
