First and foremost, this is not to punish anyone for making lots of money.

One, I'm simply acknowledging that pro sports athletes, as a “collective”, could wield tremendous power in bringing about a radical change in this country, to finally acknowledge Healthcare as a human right. As every industrialized nation on this planet already recognizes.

And I'm not just talking about forcing a floor vote in the House, but forcing Congress, and Biden, and anyone else for that matter, to pass Medical For All, and do it now.

I thought “America” was about winners? We are the losers here, we are dead last in healthcare out comes. That should not be a source of “pride”, but one of shame and humiliation.

In the most cruel, and unusual way, America has abandoned it's people for profits and campaign contributors. We're the only nation on earth not providing some kind of real safety net for it's own people.

Denying people healthcare, especially during a pandemic is unconscionable. I can certainly understand why some people who have been bankrupted by our healthcare system are dropping F-bombs all over the place. A 9/11 level of death is happening EVERY DAY NOW!

How many more days filled with more deaths than 9/11 have to pass by before we admit, what we're doing is not working?

How many trillions have we as a nation spent waging the Global War on Terror, going now for twenty years, and terrorism has only increased around the world?

We are witnessing and experiencing, a genocide level of death unleashed by a willful, and criminally negligent administration, where all three branches of our government have displayed just how callus, disconnected with reality and without humanity, they truly are. We are the ones suffering as a result of it.

They would rather let Americans die, as they have, then give us medicare for all. And then they rob us blind through this legislative terrorism they have inflicted upon us, because, well the already wealthy need MORE and squeezing everything out of the “people”, will just about do it.

Why Pro Sports Athletes? It's economics silly.

Consider the following...

From MarketingDIVE.com:

The North American sports media market is set to grow at a compound annual rate of 3% through 2021 across segments of media rights, gate revenues, sponsorships and merchandise, according to PwC's 2017 Sports Outlook. Revenue overall could rise from $69.3 billion this year to $78.5 billion in 2021.

From Fortunly.com:

According to Kantar Media, this figure of $482 million represents the grand total of in-game, pregame, and postgame ad revenues. Super Bowl earnings from in-game ads alone amounted to $408 million in 2018.

Then this from Foxbusiness.com:

For the 2019 regular season as a whole, which runs from Sept. 5 through Dec. 29, NFL TV networks pulled in nearly $5 billion in advertising revenue, a 14 percent uptick from last season.

One reason for the big money: Commercials during football are not cheap. For the 2018-2019 season, the average rate for 30-second Sunday night spot was about $665,000.

But that's not all.
From TheStreet.com:

Every year Fox, CBS and NBC collectively pay the NFL $3 billion for the rights to broadcast the league’s games. This deal includes the rotating right for one of these three networks to host the Super Bowl.

Spend 3 billion to make 5 billion in a year, I'll do that all day long too!

Their “power” if you will, would be in their ability to act “collectively”, and shut down a tremendous amount of money flows into who's pockets, are the very people behind making sure you and your family do not get Medicare For All.

Simply by refusing to play until we get the legislation we want. The entire sports industry could be ground to a complete halt. We're talking hundred of billions in economic activity, that mainly the rich get richer from.

I mean just consider, the very same corruption of our government by “normal” Big Business and the Wall Street Banks through political campaign contributions happens in pro sports as well, but we don't hear much about the plantation owners, ah excuse me, Pro Sports Team Owners and their influence (political contributions) on our government.
From Espn.com:

American professional sports owners have contributed nearly $47 million in federal elections since 2015, according to research by ESPN in partnership with FiveThirtyEight, including $10 million to Republican causes and $1.9 million to Democratic causes so far in the 2020 election cycle.

That strong Republican lean is consistent with owners' spending in the 2018 and 2016 federal elections as well. A deep search in the Federal Election Commission database of campaign finances for principal owners, controlling owners, co-owners and commissioners from the NBA, NFL, NHL, WNBA, MLB and NASCAR reveals that this deep-pocketed group has sent $34.2 million (72.9%) to Republican campaigns or super PACs purely supporting Republican causes, compared to $10.1 million (21.5%) to Democrats over the past three elections. Less than 6% of contributions went to bipartisan or unaffiliated recipients.

I'm willing to bet that they surly do not donate / contribute to congress persons who advocates for MedicareForAll. But we're supposed to worry about Russia?

These plantation owners, ah excuse me, Team Owners don't have to engage in quid pro quo, they simply donate to those members in congress who won't vote for MedicareForAll. No bribery or conspiracy required, just an ideological understanding, the slaves can't have healthcare unless they pay for it.

I'm also acknowledging that most, if not all, pro sports athletes can certainly afford to “strike”, when the rest of the country is living on pennies a day, lining up at food banks by the tens of thousands, and millions are facing evictions, while NFL players got a $100,000 annual base pay raise this past March with their new CBA.

From Forbes.com:

The CBA increased the 2020 minimum base salaries for all players to $610,000, from $510,000, which impacts the money available for an upfront bonus in rookie deals.

Heck, just consider how much “public funding” went into building these supersized sports stadiums, so these oligarchs can make even that much more money, while most Americans can't even afford to go to a game because they have become so expensive, and the state bleeds us dry in local taxes as a result of committing public funds to help pay (subsides) these supersize stadiums. It's absurd!

From Bloombergnews.com:

A Bloomberg Businessweek article this week spotlights Cowboys Stadium as a case study of a multimillion-dollar stadium project financed by taxpayer money. The Cowboys — the most valuable NFL franchise in terms of revenue — are one of 21 pro football teams to play in a stadium funded using public dollars in the form of tax-free municipal bonds. The $1.2 billion stadium was heavily subsidized by the City of Arlington, and taxpayers are on the hook for about $65.3 million over 29 years.

So, we the local tax payer, are on the hook for 29 YEARS! A permanent tax, even when you can't afford a ticket to one of the games.

From Vividseats.com:

How Much Are Cowboys Tickets?
No matter what you're looking to spend, Vivid Seats has tickets to fit your budget. Currently, Dallas Cowboys prices range from $45 to $20337, with a current median price of $238.

So, for a family of 4, it would be $180 bucks, just for tickets in the nose bleed sections. Yippie! Yee Haw! But every time you buy something locally, game or not, you are “taxed” for the cost of that monstrosity called Cowboys Stadium for the next 29 years!

What could be more a common ground issue than healthcare? It's a fact of life that everyone will need healthcare at some point in their life.

What could be more “patriotic” than to stand down, stop playing pro sports, so everyone in this country could have Medicare For All. By refusing to play until congress passes a medicare for all bill, would have a tremendous “economic” impact on the oligarchs, that, well, for lack of better words, OWNS these athletes, and buys and sells them like SLAVES.

No one would be able to call them "unAmerican" or un-patriotic"!

Pro sport Athletes have a tremendous amount of power to shut this “systemic” death machine down. They have the national profiles, huge fan bases, and this issue cuts across every “social justice” issue. EVERYONE needs healthcare in order to survive, live, and hopefully thrive.

They represent a "collective" power with no other rival on the national level. Hell, Bernie and all the so called progressives can not effect any change or shut anything down. They are proving to be as powerless and useless, as most American are felling right now, and their capitulation, is a FUCKING stab in the back to all of us!

No wonder people are losing it with the f-bombs! What's it going to take to wake people up?

Just saying America is great, is meaningless. In order for America to be Great, it's people must act greatly! But those with power are acting as if greed rules their character.

So, I humbly ask these pro sports athletes, act greatly, shut down pro sports until we get medicare for all! Show us how great a human being you are. Be a team player, and help for fellow team mates, i.e. hard working Americans who can't afford to go to your games anyway.

Or do you too have the ideological understanding as your plantation, ah excuse me, team owners, the slaves can't have healthcare unless they pay for it?
