Why Are Women Reporting On Sports?

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* I have often wondered about the marketing research that says female sideline reporters at NFL games are a good idea. Michelle Tafoya could eat crackers in my bed but we wouldn’t be talking about football because she knows less than I do which is not much.

* Women broadcasting sports? Retarded. I’ll buy into women broadcasting sports when there’s an ugly, sweaty female representative from some woman’s sports category on EPSN/NFL broadcasts. Until then, the know-nothing but cute little cookies that shake their cakes for the camera while they tele-prompt their way through a broadcast only represent high-level retardation. The women pretend to know something and the men pretend to listen.

* The top Premier soccer club in my state fields boys’ and girls’ teams at a variety of age levels. A few years ago, the boys’ U-15 team and girls’ U-18 team both won state championships. Someone in the organization thought it would be a good idea for the two teams to play a “friendly”. Much to the shock of the SWPL parents in the stands, the boys won by the selfsame 7-0 score, with the boys’ coach forbidding them from shooting during the final 20 minutes, and directing them to simply play “keep-away” with the ball.

Plot twist: Every one of the girls’ starters went on to play college soccer on a full scholarship the next fall. The boys all went on to their freshman year of high school.

* The disparity is even bigger in ice hockey. Any decent boys high school team will demolish female world champions. But if you want to elicit maximum rage from feminists, ask why there is a need for women chess tournaments.

* Women should not be in military combat at all. Even if they somehow physically qualify. It impacts cohesion of the unit.

I’m watching the Olympic trials for the women’s steeplechase. This is what women’s sports should be – cute girls in skimpy outfits running around and staying in shape. But when the mentally ill men start fighting for Title IX scholarships, women’s sports advocates will have to decide between women and trannies. I look forward to their decision.

* Trannies, like homos, tend not to dwell in the palace of truth.

* I’m far more concerned about the failure to get a minimum cup size imposed in women’s beach volley ball.

* I want to add to the pile of “separate but equal” nonsense the contention I heard last night that WNBA women players should be paid the same as NBA male players. Bill O’Reilly devoted his full hour to showing hilarious interviews conducted by Jesse Watters of young people (men and women) on various beaches around the country. Apart from the standard questions of who the U.S. fought in various wars (France, for some reason, was a favorite response), one young woman contended that she thought WNBA players should be paid the same as NBA players. Leaving aside the fact that WNBA games do not draw anywhere near the crowds or TV viewing audience as NBA games, there is the issue of whether it would be equal pay for equal work. We have the great example of professional tennis where women were able to extract the guarantee of same prize money as the men despite the fact that women only play best 2 out of 3 matches while men are forced to play best 3 out of 5 matches. That leaves aside the fact that Serena and Venus Williams were not able to come close to beating the 203rd ranked men’s player in 1998, as another poster noted the other day. Time to abolish women’s sports as a separate category altogether now that sexual identity has entered the picture.

Forward: ‘India’s Jewish ‘Lost Tribe’ Faces Hard Times in Israel’

Posted on July 5, 2016 by Luke Ford

It’s funny how all low-IQ groups have these problems.

Forward: The result so far has been a group plagued by absorption and integration difficulties as harrowing as those faced by many previous non-European immigrant groups in Israel — and maybe more so, thanks to their sheer distance from Jewish life until recently, and to the skepticism that still surrounds their claims of a past Jewish connection.
According to Malachi Levinger, the head of the local council of Kiryat Arba, a city in the West Bank where 700 Bnei Menashe have settled, including many placed there by Shavei Israel, at least 73% of the group’s youth are considered at risk.
With their parents mostly absent because of their need to work long hours at low-end jobs, teenagers from the community are prone to alcohol abuse, petty crimes and encounters with the police, said Yoni Nachum, coordinator of Bnei Menashe programs for the local council.

Vox: ‘Ethnic nationalism is bad for the Jews’

Posted on July 5, 2016 by Luke Ford

What they mean to say is “Gentile ethnic nationalism is bad for the Jews.”

From Matthew Yglesias at VOX:

That Trump’s efforts to mobilize white nationalism as a force in American politics has inadvertently also mobilized anti-Semitism does not come as a surprise to either white nationalists or Jews.

Jews have historically fared very well in the United States versus in other Western countries, in part because the United States — for all its deeply troubled racial history — has generally not defined American identity in ethnic blood and soil terms.

Organizations like the Ku Klux Klan that have wanted to bring more of that spirit to American politics have not looked kindly on the Jewish presence in American life. At the same time, even though Jews have never been subject to formalized legal discrimination in America, Jewish people were massively overrepresented in the ranks of white supporters of the civil rights movement — recognizing a shared interest in promoting an American civic identity and strong culture of nondiscrimination.

The idea of an ethnically conscious political mobilization of white people that garners heavy Jewish support makes a certain amount of sense in the specific context of late-20th-century New York City where Trump comes from. David Dinkins, the city’s first (and so far only) African-American mayor, defeated the Jewish incumbent mayor in the 1989 primary. Dinkins’s Republican opponent, Rudy Giuliani, lost narrowly in 1989 and won narrowly in 1993, both times securing many Jewish votes. But these electoral dynamics are entirely disconnected from the larger logic of American politics in a way that Trump’s Jew-bashing supporters see quite clearly even if Trump himself does not.

Meanwhile, Trump has not acted to distance himself in any way from the anti-Semitic behavior of his followers. There’s been nothing remotely in the vicinity of Barack Obama’s famous race speech from the 2008 campaign, and Trump has consistently appeared angrier about being criticized for ties to anti-Semites than about the anti-Semitism expressed by many of his fans. His campaign is promoting ethnic nationalism in a way that hasn’t been seen in decades, and that mobilization of majoritarian ethnic identity is bad for the Jews, whether Trump likes it or not.

LAT: Plastic surgeon’s license revoked three years after court acquitted him of charges

Posted on July 5, 2016 by Luke Ford

Los Angeles Times: A Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who was accused — and acquitted — of unlawfully videotaping partly nude patients lost his medical license Friday after state officials said he was a threat to public safety.

In 2013, a criminal court jury acquitted Lance Everett Wyatt of six misdemeanor counts, including unlawful videotaping two patients who were partly undressed and sexual battery on a patient.

Despite those acquittals, the Medical Board of California on June 2 moved to revoke Wyatt’s license, citing “intentional and inexcusable breach of [two of] his female patients’ trust by surreptitiously video recording them partially nude without their consent.”

The board accused Wyatt of “gross negligence, repeated negligent acts, unprofessional conduct, and sexual misconduct” saying in its decision that Wyatt chose to “deny all wrongdoing and characterize himself as the victim, with no real concern for the actual victims.”

Wyatt’s request that the board reconsider its decision was denied Friday. Wyatt was arrested in August 2012 after a joint investigation by Los Angeles police and the medical board.

LA WEEKLY in 2012: A Beverly Center-area plastic surgeon was charged today in a case that accuses him of secretly videotaping nude patients during exams.

Forty-two-year-old Lance Everett Wyatt of Sherman Oaks was also arrested today based on a warrant, according to the L.A. City Attorney’s office and the Medical Board of California. On his website the suspect seems fancies himself as a medical “guru” and plastic surgeon to the stars.

One of two women he allegedly taped says she spotted a camera, grabbed it, and turned it over to cops, according to prosecutors. This happened …

… nearly a year ago at his private, independent office (8631 W. Third Street), which appears to be on or next to the campus of Cedars Sinai Medical Center. The City Attorney’s office says the alleged taping happened Aug. 4, 2011, to be exact.

The LAPD and the Medical Board have apparently been investigating since then. Wyatt was hit with these charges today, according to the board:

… Two counts of Penal Code (PC) 647(j)(3)(1), the unlawful filming of another, on two patients; two counts of PC 647 (j) (1), unlawful viewing of another, on two patients; one count of PC section 243.4(c), sexual battery on a patient; and one count of PC 242, unlawful use of force and violence (battery) on another.

The City Attorney’s office says he faces two years in jail and a lifetime of registration as a sex offender if he’s convicted. The office alleges that …

… he secretly video-recorded patients while they were undressed, and that he committed acts of sexual battery and battery.

And that:

… On August 4, 2011, the defendant allegedly secretly made video-recordings of two patients who were undressed. The two alleged victims, unaware that they were being filmed, were patients and were seeing the defendant as part of their post-surgical care. The camera used by defendant to commit these offenses was discovered by one of the victims who fled the office and turned the camera over to police.

We talked to Richard Kraft, supervising attorney in the City Attorney’s Special Victims Section, to figure out how charges of battery came about.

He alleged that Wyatt touched at least one of the victims inappropriately while surreptitiously taping her and while leading the woman to believe the touching was medically necessary:

Based on one of the videos we identified conduct that we felt violated sexual battery and battery provisions of the penal code. In this case it was conduct permitted by the pateint because she believed the touching was for legitimate medical purposes.

When Will Trump Act Presidential?

Posted on July 5, 2016 by Luke Ford

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Bottom line is Trump said he’d act more presidential in the general and he said he cut way back on tweeting and blah, blah, blah …

Trump is just a hardcore REAL ESTATE ANIMAL to the bone and everything he says is plastic, claymation.

If you’ve ever met a hardcore real estate professional then none of what Trump says is surprising. They can’t tell the straight truth about anything. Ever.

* Yes Trump is a super-genius planning triple bank shots and not someone who just got rolled by an alt.righter who slipped in an antisemitic meme.

So this was an own goal. Maybe it was caused by not having enough Jews around campaign HQ. Should have showed this to his son-in-law before retweeting – he would have seen the not-so-hidden message right way.

Maybe he can use a noose next to appeal to the black vote. I’m going to “hang” Hillary out to dry! Nooses are associated with the hangman game, with the legal execution of war criminals, etc. and not just lynching, so no problem.

* Mr. Sailer is quite correct that DJT is only espousing common sense not-that- radical notions. It makes the reaction of the Kristols, Wills, Republicans, etc so absurd. Also the Left. It speaks to how bad off we are as a society. He has really struck a nerve.
There have been many attempts at explanation, here and elsewhere, none entirely correct, all having elements of the truth. It is multifactorial, for sure. It is puzzling and fascinating. For instance, the Kochs hate him, but his talk of re-examining our commitments abroad should be right up their Cato alley. Some of it hysteria. He is unPC (but this is not uncommon in much of America). I don’t understand it completely. But I am sure it is a good thing for America and would be fantastic if he could win. The bigger question is whether he would be the beginning of a long term change or just a temporary lull in the decimation of the West.
Steve also makes another great point about DJT. How aware is he of what he is doing? He is obviously a very smart man.
Is he the Prince, though? I mostly think no, but sometimes I wonder.

* Most of the Jews in the US originated in the 1880s-1914 immigration from the Russian Empire. Any Russian expression of nationalism to them meant a Cossack raid. More glaringly, it meant a government that induced pressure to convert to Orthodoxy. Much of what we call the “war on Christmas” is mostly Jewish angst that public display of Christian symbols will induce their children into converting.

* That Sailer is not himself an extravagant haircut doesn’t mean he thinks they’re all wrong. He seems to have a mellow lack of bloodthirstiness that probably comes with his long tenure as a crime thinker. The zeal of the convert, the driving force of many of the extravagant haircuts, attenuates with time.

Another reason to relax (very slightly) is that human peoples of moderate or higher IQ, such as global Europa, eventually wake up. This is particularly true with the Internet, which has broken elite control over public discourse. (Happened with the printing press to a lesser degree half a millennium ago.) Europa in the United States and Europe simultaneously awakens right now. Sure, some of us saw the writing on the wall 10 years ago, indeed some probably saw it during the Bell Curve wars (Murray obviously did), but it’s catching on with the broader populace as time passes.

* Last night I saw a clear example of Obama’s flapdoodle about black Americans. I was watching Fox News when they broke away to show Obama delivering his Fourth of July speech from the White House. He took the occasion to speak about our “heroes” in the armed forces, but standing behind him on the stage were five or six black men and women. Not one white person in sight. I guess the idea was to give the impression to America that the brave men and women in our armed forces supposedly protecting America are all black. I wonder what percentage of the military is black, especially the forces that do the actual fighting. I wonder what percentage of those who return in body bags are black. Probably a lot less than 100%. Even the blonde commentator on Fox who introduced the little segment gave a smile of support to our men and women in uniform. I thought the whole episode was rather strange. I take this as a sign that Obama is starting to do all he can to rally black Americans to vote for Hillary Clinton.

* It is common knowledge that blacks serve in the supply lines not in the front lines. It is whites and Hispanics who engage the enemies and get injured or die. Lets give credit to these Hispanics for having a warrior instinct and patriotism. With blacks it is “I ain’t got no quarrel with no Vietcong” plus the US military is into affirmative action promotions.

* In Jeff Connaughton’s excellent “Why Wall Street Always Wins,” the author, who was a senior aide to Joe Biden for several decades, blithely explains that whenever Biden needed money, he would contact his network of Jewish lawyers for contributions. He explains this matter of factly because he is out of the game. I thought it was hilarious.

The book overall is a great read to contrast what happens when a senator is allowed to vote freely. Biden’s last two years were served by Ted Kaufman, who went hard after Wall Street after the housing debacle since he had no intention of running again in 2010. It stood in stark contrast to the wishy-washy Biden, who was always failed to balance the needs of the country with his own aims for higher office.
