Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don’t know Michael Clark then it’s about time you get...
THE SAVIOR OF NEW ORLEANS REGGIE BUSH BLACK JESUS REALLY ??
THE “REAL” REGGIE BUSH ??
How desperate is
New Orleans
VERY
One clear indication is the place of Sports in the Group Consciousness of the Big Easy. Lots of Orleanians are looking for Salvation on a Gridiron. Specifically from the aptly named New Orleans Saints and their widely and newly if unofficially Anointed Savior Reggie Bush.
If you think that is
Far Fetched
You haven’t been reading. Specifically the New Orleans sports media most of all the comments of residents and fans. Almost one year after Katrina, New Orleans remains a Big Mess. Signs of life for sure are there in the same way there are “signs” in Baghdad. Few and far between.
Billions $$$ have been Wasted
in New Orleans
and Iraq
Corruption is out of Control
in New Orleans
and Iraq
It is unsafe to Walk the Streets
in New Orleans
and Iraq
The Bush Administration is BS-ing
about New Orleans
and Iraq but ….
There is One Big Difference between New Orleans and Iraq. Football. Specifically NFL Football. And most of all Reggie Bush. Even though the Savior of New Orleans expects to be paid well for playing Jesus in the SuperDome on Sundays in the Fall. He still has not agreed to a Contract. This is not Galilee and its not 2000 years ago. Saviors are no longer Cheap. If they ever were.
Still isn’t it Interesting
the U.S. city with
the most abused
Black population
and worst poverty
and crime
turns to a
Black Messiah
who plays Football
NO Less
It does and doesn’t make Sense. New Orleans which is never going to be the Old Orleans under any circumstances needs an emblem a symbol of Strength and Progress. For better or worse there is some logic to an athlete taking that role.
After all our Religion is
for all practical purposes
SPORTS
in America if not
all over the World
If New Orleans is going to choose a sports figure as its Savior they can’t do any better than Bush. As a matter of fact they have no other Options. Nobody else on the Saints remotely qualifies. The other major team if that is the word is the New Orleans Hornets. Both teams are Losers.
Everyone is agreed Bush has the potential to be one of the greatest running backs ever. If healthy for all of the 2006 season there is NO doubt he will supply the energy to the Saints and make them far better than last season. Even Bush probably can’t get the Saints to the post-season but many are already convinced he will be Rookie of the Year. That’s enough
For his part Bush is doing his bit to fit the role of Savior. He has donated $86,000 to resod a football field in New Orleans used by many local high school teams. He has donated $5000 to Holy Rose Academy, a school in New Orleans for children with special needs in danger of closing. He will also use money from sale of his jersey for other projects in the city. No doubt he will sign autographs and make appearances to promote New Orleans. As he has already.
That is the upside of
Reggie Bush as Savior
The downside is that no matter what a football player does on or off the Gridiron no way matches the problems and challenges New Orleans faces in fact Katrina or no Katrina. Before and after Katrina New Orleans is the most impoverished city in America once you get past the White Elite.
If Reggie Bush was going to be
a Serious Savior
At the very least he would speak out to criticize the Bush Administration as well as local politicians for their dismal management of New Orleans, for their treatment of the Black community in New Orleans and for the scandalous response to the post-Katrina New Orleans.
In reality
in the tradition of
American athletes
including most
Black Athletes
Expect Reggie Bush to keep his mouth shut and say NOTHING. About the conditions of New Orleans. That dear readers is as far as you can get from what anyone who is a true SAVIOR or Black Jesus if you prefer would do. Imagine the “original” Jesus back 2000 years ago or having His Second Coming today saying NOTHING at all about the state of human society in general and NOTHING at all about New Orleans. Or its many Problems.
Real Saviors
( not feel good ones )
talk the talk
walk the walk
the most we should expect
from Reggie Bush is
some great football
and A Feel Good
for New Orleans.
Don’t stop Praying
for New Orleans
’cause Reggie
has Arrived
