Scientific American Racializes Damar Hamlin Injury
Scientific American cashed in its credibility to become a soapbox for leftism ages ago. With its racialization of Damar Hamlin injury, it has jumped the shark.
In a freakishly rare incident, Hamlin’s heart temporarily stopped following a normal tackle.
This ordinary violence has always riddled the sport and it affects all players. But Black players are disproportionately affected.
Here’s why:
Non-white players account for 70 percent of the NFL…
They make more in a year playing a game for a few months than most of us will earn in our lives. Sports fans idolize them. Many envy them. Yet we are told that because they might get injured playing football, they are enslaved:
On these playing fields, ones that sociologist Billy Hawkins would argue are never theoretically far from plantation fields, financial stakeholders value Black bodies for their productive potential and physical prowess. … In the words of sociologist and activist Harry Edwards, “like a piece of equipment, the black athlete is used.” While I am not aware of research that compares the rate of injury between Black and white football players, heatstrokes, ACL and labrum tears, ankle sprains, bone breaks, and concussions are just a few of the consequences of how these bodies are used.
Author Tracie Canada is “not aware of research,” but has plenty of unfounded opinion to compensate. Yet they call it Scientific American.
Just so that you don’t forget that achieving the dream of playing for the NFL amounts to slavery:
Further, to dismiss the almost certain breaking down of their bodies as just part of the game is a process of objectification and commodification that prioritizes the player over the person in a way that Black feminist scholar bell hooks says calls to mind “the history of slavery and the plantation economy.” The anti-Blackness of the system is inescapable.
No matter what happens, it is evidence that the world’s most conspicuously privileged minority group is actually oppressed and therefore America is bad and deserves what leftists are doing to it.
Legal Insurrection offers other recent examples of Scientific American subordinating Science to its un-American moonbat ideology:
[O]ver the summer, Scientific American slammed NASA for ending their “Pronoun Project.”
Also, in June 2021 SciAm removed an anti-Israel op/ed from their website after criticism from other scientists, some of whom called out the magazine for “falsifying facts.”
They’ve also admittedly colluded with the mainstream media on politicizing the climate change debate.
The formerly respected publication even participates in the establishment of obesity as an oppressed identity worthy of cultural Marxist reverence:
They’ve also alleged that there is an “anti-fat” bias in the medical community primarily because some physicians dare to point out to their patients that losing weight could help them become healthier and perhaps experience fewer physical problems.
In a related piece, one author proclaimed that “you can be fat and fit at the same time.”
Not surprisingly, they’ve also gone woke on the gender identity politics front, stating that it’s “transphobic” for anyone to suggest that men who identify as women should not be allowed to play in women’s sports.
Anything moonbattery infiltrates is reduced to contemptible farce. Publications like Scientific American are no exception.
