A Right Wing Friend of mine is, unfortunately, a fan of UNC sports (not so much of the university though). They recently went on a rant about the Liberal-ness of ESPN. The image here goes along with my essay response. Give it a look.
On the chart college basketball, overall, sits pretty close to the center. That's us, UNC folks, college basketball fans. But there are other elements to be considered. Here is my “Modest Proposal.”
$$$$$$&&&$$$$$$$$&&&&&
1. Carolina is well-known as a bastion of liberal thought, employing several thousand faculty who as their life's mission expend amazing amounts of energy indoctrinating young hearts and minds with leftist ideology. At best (?worst?) that leftism results in pulling those young people from the sensible and pragmatic positions of center-right sentiments that they brought with them to campus as doe-eyed freshmen to graduating as hardened libruls. A few wake up eventually, once they get out in the real world of mortgages and paychecks and health care, and become enlightened conservatives. Still, far and away the majority of us remain brainwashed Lefties.
2. We love the game of basketball. Many of us have, unlike the fans of other schools in the neighborhood, played a fair amount of the game as well. Basketball is a team game. A good coach cultivates what each player can contribute according to their ability and requires them to contribute to the team according to the need, in order to succeed, thus squaring the circle of the most fundamental concept of Marxism in order to win.
3. We are all great admirers of Coach Dean Smith, and to a lesser degree of Coach Roy Williams. Coach Smith is a well-known librul, Coach Williams slightly less so. Stances against the death penalty, imperialist wars, curtailing of gay and transsexual rights, and other conservative policies has been the stock and trade of both these men. Indeed, as pointed out above, the success of both has been much predicated on Marxist philosophy, the very essence of leftism. From each player according to ability and to the team according to need is the most basic tenet at work in the "Carolina Way" created by Coach Smith. This is today carried forward by Coach Hubert Davis, though he has remained silent in the main regarding politics. He IS a graduate of UNC and a disciple of the Dean Smithian Dialectic however.
4. Combine the fundamental nature of basketball as a team game of clearly Marxist essence with the librul inculcation of values and ways of seeing that goes on in Chapel Hill by virtue of the Pink to Bright Red faculty and the basic Leftist policies of Coaches Smith and Williams (Smith? Williams? Made-up surnames designed to represent the Socialist Hero, EveryMan) and TO NOT BE AT LEAST Librul AND LOVE CAROLINA BASKETBALL is an aberration of stark and frankly, deplorable, proportions.
5. Therefore we inhabit the percentage of college basketball fans that exist statistically on the far left, say in the vicinity of WNBA fans, and make up the counter-balance to the dook and long-suffering Indiana fans that, in their swallowing of the twisted conservative basketball philosophies of the Rat and knight (both as well known for their rightist worldviews as Smith and Williams are for their Leftism).
6. So the fans of UNC basketball should all be watching more ESPN now that the light has been shown on that channel, exposing it as the deliverer of Our Leftist Carolina Worldview.
That is all -- the revelation hits hard.
