Enough is Enough Already!

 


The fall of great products has occurred…. BUD LIGHT—fell because they thought that putting a TRANSGENDER female on their advertising would increase sales--- how did that work out for you Budweiser? OH and NOW the GREAT AND MIGHT SPORTS ILLUSTRATED has fallen by the way side after close to 70 years in publishing because they chose to go with ARTIFICAL INTELLEGENCE! FALSE NAMES—FALSE WRITERS! FALSE READERS!

Yep, how the mighty have fallen!

IT makes one sick of this NEW society, of the ENTILED generation, I have no idea how the “KARENS” of the word got started, when did manners go out the window, when did hard work and ethics just get dumped on the side of the road like trash?

Never mind the lives that are ruined by this, never mind that there are mouths to be fed, or roofs to be kept over their heads, never mind that CORPORATE CHIEFS believe that they KNOW better! BECAUSE THEY DON’T!

Look at media in general, no more daily news papers in certain parts of the country, no more magazines to be kept on the racks, hell, this generation has no idea of the type of magazines we  depended on as a youth, be it BOYS LIFE if you were a Boy Scout, or LOOK, LIFE, and TIME magazines were a must in not just the homes but in offices and such, There was stories, and photos, and images that, yes you can see them on line, but to hold it in your hands and smell the freshness of that magazine when you purchased it. OH and yes there was Playboy, that, lets face the facts, that pretty much kept a lot of young men yearning to return home from their tour of duty in Southeast Asia.

But for those of us that lived and died with Sports Illustrated, their stories and photos brought to life the moments that took place, like World Series, and Super Bowls, the NCAA Final Four, the Kentucky Derby, the Triple Crown, the Champions of Wimbledon, and the Finish line at the INDY 500.

Just those few out of the thousands of events that Sports Illustrated covered with not just their photographers, but their writers, their feelings, their emotions, that is what made that “Rag” as some called it the best to be delivered! NOW its all just cut cost because this generation that is with us right now, has no appreciation of the art and the integrity that one has to have to be a journalist!

Go into any school that offers class in journalism, be it on the high school level, writing for your school paper- oh wait they don’t have that any more, now its video and showing a NEWS cast from the “studio” in the school, but its not journalism, its, what is my friend doing in the hall and lets ask them just random questions!

College level journalism, there used to be a class on ethics, and the do’s an don’ts of journalism, we already had one SIDELINE REPORTER admit that they made up quotes from coaches at half time to go on the air say that the coach told them in the second half what they had to do to. YES its coach speak, but really??? I have been a sideline reporter before, and if the coach didn’t wish to speak with me or didn’t have time as they are running out onto the field for the second half I would tell my producer/director, hey—I got nothing! YES I could have made something up, but that’s not right. Its not ETHICAL!

SO AI is NO BETTER! IF its not there, then how can write about it--- because some one, somewhere fed it to them through their system? That makes it better????

ENOUGH ALREADY with the WOKE and the ENTILED crap! GROW THE HELL UP and be at least honest and loyal to who pays the freight!

YOU complain about advertisers, and you complain about the lack of income—look at radio, Audicy the company that purchased CBS RADIO—they are BROKE! They are going under—and the hundreds of stations will suffer—in Dallas/Ft, Worth alone there are like several stations under that banner—Starting off with the Flag Ship Station(s) of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers—KRLD FM 105.3fm and their sister station on the am side KRLD 1080… what once was KLUV is now the SPOT, 98,7FM, KVIL 103.7 or ALT Radio, 107.5 FM Hispanic Radio,

We watched as BALLY SPORTS were purchased by Amazon Sports, and wow—Bally before them was FOX SPORTS SOUTHWEST.

The change owners like you and I change shirts. You can’t tell who owns who until it comes out in the trades of even the Wall Street Journal.

Who—really WHO is going to stop this madness—is it going to be YOU or someone that has had their fill of this crap!

I stated earlier about Karen’s- and where the hell did that all start? I mean I know there are those who feel like they are being wronged- but to just outburst and go nuts, where did that come from, who in their lives did them wrong like that?

When did it become the “TEACHERS” fault for YOUR child failing, its not the school, it’s the HOME that failed, your child spends their life on their phone and not interacting with another human being, in school is the ONLY time that they have, to interact. YOU!!!! YOU!!!! THE PARENT—did you live like that when you were growing up, most likely NO! You had a life outside of your house, only because YOUR parents made it that way—both your parents worked and that made you more self reliant on being independent… and because of that, when you became a parent you had no idea of what it was like to discipline your child to make them respect those in charge of their lives inside the walls of a school.

THE GENERATION known as Baby Boomers, we were the last of the breed that respected the teacher, the school and what they meant to us, we forged our way through that and became better people, but somewhere along the line—we lost our mind! Really—the generation has just left the sanity of life somewhere in the dust!

I for one, am just sick of this crap—and would love for someone to stand up, take a hold of the reins of this run away horse and pull back on it and just kick some sense into this Society, and bring order to it, and settle it down a bit and work our way through the issues and the problems.

This rambling is more of a man venting his frustrations and for the love of all that is sane—grow up and, grow some balls, and stop being offended by every little thing that comes down the pike!

Man its to the point where you can’t joke about anything or anyone without offending them—or worse you can’t have mascots of our American Indians, because you are offensive to them—has it EVER occurred to you, that maybe its honoring that heritage and not smearing it, has it EVER occurred to you that maybe the NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN is proud to have that emblem emblazed on uniforms and hats, that NO ONE FORGETS who they were and are, and are proud to be held in esteem honor that way!

NO-- all you see is the crap that YOU want to see and hear—GROW THE HELL UP!

ENOUGH ALREADY—STOP BEING “WOKE” and “WAKE UP”
