Racist Football
September 30, 2019
THE FACT that white America constantly puts up with systematic defamation is proof that it is not a “white supremacist” country. In fact, it’s just the opposite, a country in which whites bask in self-criticism and neurotic guilt. Someone like Professor Kyle Kusz would be otherwise professionally censured for this article in Newsweek, in which he states that star quarterback Tom Brady is popular because of white racism:
New England Patriot quarterback Tom Brady is one of the most accomplished and decorated NFL stars of all time, but Kyle Kusz, an associate professor of kinesiology at the University of Rhode Island has a much different take on the 42-year-old.
According to Campus Reform, Kusz does not think Brady’s popularity stems from his six Superbowl titles but instead due to white supremacy and white male rage.
In Kusz’s book, titled Making American White Men Great Again: Tom Brady, Donald Trump, and the Allure of White Male Omnipotence in Post-Obama America, he details his beliefs regarding Brady’s fame.
“Quarterback Tom Brady has gained popularity due to the ‘latest wave of white rage and white supremacy,'” wrote Kusz.
According to Kusz, this popularity began with the election of former President Barack Obama, parallel to “a disturbing racial reaction among white conservatives in response to the idea that a black man would be [president].”
In his book, Kusz focuses on a 2015 Under Armour commercial in which Brady appeared. The style of the ad “would not seem out of place in Leni Riefenstahl’s infamous Nazi propaganda film, Triumph des Willens,” Kusz wrote.
“I decided to research Trump and Brady’s public performances of their white masculinities and how they connect with broader debates about race and gender politics after a student in one of my classes brought the UnderArmour commercial to my attention, and it piqued my interest,” the professor said in an interview with Campus Reform.

Looked up Professor Kusz on rate my professors. Although kinesiology is the study of body movement, the good professor seems to think it’s a sociology course, and the only way to pass is to regurgitate his lefty opinions.
Anyway, this yet another oped piece about how sport X would be better if we increased its diversity by making it even more black, white people [stink], and Orange Man Bad.
All this, coming from a fake news organ who’s primary sports focus seems to be on the WWE. Fake news covering a fake sport. How apt.
Anyway, I didn’t think that Newsweek still existed.
