The Black Beast: Taylor Mays, USC, The 40 yard dash at the 2010 NFL Combine, The NFL, NFL Scouting, and Racism: The truth and lies

About the Black Beast title

A blog on racism in professional and college Sports...Beast, animal, and the like were the first names our ancestors were given out of their own name by the slavers. This dehumanized them and set the stage for the entire enlavement process. It was objectification. Today, adult black men who play professional sport are referred to as beasts (and required to be more athletic than their professional white counter parts who are only required to be some what athletic and intelligent so that better black athletes are cut and more white ones are given large sums of money to be professional(as if black athletes do not demonstrate intelligence) which would not happen if all athletes were equally appraised. But more white athletes is a requirement by white coaches, white owners, white ruled leagues who realize that white children look up to, even idolize these men in uniform and that role can never fall to the Black Beast alone. Moreover the self identity of the white male is at stake, for the white male must be able to compete. (The white male must!) This beastly objectification harkens back to the day of the slaver when our ancestor was nothing more than muscle to do their bidding. Here in this blog, The Black Beast is loosed to take back humanity, to demand treatment as a human being, more than muscle and sinew bid to win or loose for white males.Here in this space, it's the Black Beast walkin' down every iota of racism and vindicating all uses of the race card against those who created it.

Taylor Mays, USC, The 40 yard dash at the 2010 NFL Combine, The NFL, NFL Scouting, and Racism: The truth and lies

FIND THE LATEST ON TAYLOR MAYS AND THE 2010 NFL DRAFT HERE

The Scout hustle. Hustlenomics. Hustle Scoutnomics. Call it what ya want. But what ever you wanna call it, call bullshit.

Cause that's what was on display at the NFL Combine in Indy when Taylor Mays ran the 40 at an unofficial 4.24 but was given an official 4.43 and NFLN cameras showed him running faster than another brother who had an official faster time using super imposed camera work. And before I get to the meat of this post lemme jes say this ever since I got Tivo I been timin' cats in my livin' room. Testin' the finger. Testin' the timers. The results?

Oh it's all so, so, so, ghetto.

And I'm tellin' you now Cats who ball call it political when a better performance usually by a black beast is ignored or otherwise changed. In the years that I been doin' this you I've found one thing is true. Guess whose times are usually close to the reported "fast" Official NFL times or faster than my "slow" time? If you said white folks are often faster than my watch, go to the head of the Black Beast class. And guess whose very fast time is actually reported as slower by the Official NFL times like Taylor Mays?

You got it. The Black Beast.

Nameen?

I had decided that I would post more on the combine hustle run by the white men with whistles after this combine, but I never thought I'd see the perfect example.

Now let me get one thing out of the way: Taylor Mays, congratulations you been Black Beasted.

Okay good. On to the next one....

See I know all about this. My student Baby Superstar Rival.com Ultimate 100 performer showcase round went to a combine for high school ballers and beat everyone in his heat.(they run the athletes against each other) Know what happened? His official 40 time was slower than the boys he beat. He blew 'em away and they were given a 4.5. He got a 4.7.

Huh?!

Oh I've seen so much scout shadyness it's a damn shame. Look around the page, you'll see it. I've watched my athlete run a 4.6 to be told it was a 4.9 and a 4.5 was a 4.8. I've watched him jump 36 and be told it was 26. I actually watched my athlete fully out jump the tape.

Look bottom line, if you trying to quantify and qualify something you have to be exact. And this is the problem exactly.See a 4.4 is sooooooo much different than a 4.2 it ain't even funny. If you run track or time. You know this. To the naked eye!!!

Every body has seen the tape of Taylor Mays' rob job 40, but what I wanna see is the tape of those so called fast white 40s semi imposed over Taylor Mays. You say Conner Baldwin ran a 4.69? Put it up next to Taylor Mays or next to another Black Beast's 4.69, they should be close right NFL Network.

See where I'm going with this. Look the point is White cats run faster according to NFL official watches, faster than Black Beasts who actually run that time. I'm in the rest clocking cats. And I seen it wit my own two. It's a hobby I have. And if you wanna say that my hand time is off.

Bullshit. Fuckin' Scoutnomics you runnin'. It's my page, my blog. I'm callin' you out. I got proof. The world seen it. One time's bad. It opens a whole can of worms. Period.

And double bullshit before you even say it. I got a real stop watch. I was only 3/100th of Black Bolt world record 100m live. And 3-5/100th of a sec. off is usually where my finger clocks a cat because I do it correctly. Fools. And I time the same run repeatedly thanks to Tivo... See the first time I got on to this was a long time ago. Som NFL combine white kid ran an official 4.6 right after a brother ran a 4.9 faster than the 4.6 to my naked eye which is probably more accurate than your official timer. Bullshit! I screamed up in the rest disturbing my peace. And sho nuff the rest of the day White cats was runnin' some interesting times as I was startin' to see the truth in the lies.

This is the 40 so prized among races by the most lucrative professional team sport second only to basketball. Huge money is at stake and it seems to me that White Cats is gettin' cut a break by White cats over and above better Black athletes. (Predominately white scouts, coaches, owners you know a White run league?). Know what we call that at the Black Beast?

Uh huh. Racism.

And for the doubters and race card fools out there ask yourselves, if a multi billion dollar sport truly wants to have exact timing why doesn't it use the world class Olympic standard FAT system? If it's good enough for track times which sets world record speeds why not for the NFL? Stop tellin' time with a damn sundial. It only opens you up to attack NFL scouts. It would be more game like. Start on a sound or other stimulus which is electronically connected to a timer.

Hmmmmmmm.....Take the human (White or White influenced) element out of this with all that money on the line? I know. I know. This is the NFL.

And that is why the Black Beast is watching and calling a spade a muthafuckin' spade. No pun intended but more than yo' slip was showin' when Taylor Mays was Black Beasted. Fix it. It's about time. Bump all this ole school shit about a scout and his watch. New School impartiality and justice awaits. Too much money at stake and it's so clear you and your league is playin' a race card. It's the truth we can see through yo' lies.

For The Record

I give little to no love to any one other than Brothers in this space, even if I love them, because these other ballers have ESPN, Sports Illustrated, CNN, Network TV NFL Network and its Media Machine, The AP, UPI, Every Corporate Sponsor, TV announcers and so called experts trumpeting average or merely above average exploits daily to the detriment of Black men (and women in other sports)who routinely do the incredible in front of the either purposefully ignorant or the uninformed as an entire society ignores these feats in large part due to the previously mentioned Media Outlets, Corporations, TV announcers and experts own often intentional or unintentional racism .

The Big Picture: Why we should care about Racism in Pro Sports

Statement:

I can't sympathize with pro athletes .. A sharecropper is one step away from a slave.. The differene between a SLAVE and a Pro Athletic(sic) is at minimum 5 million dollars!!!!!!!!!!!! Plzzz..

Answer:

NO. You can not, must not be jealous of what one has. Wealth given in abundance must be shared equally. It is a difficult spiritual lesson but it is truth...Just because the numbers are larger does not mean there is no discrimination. To do otherwise is simply to objectify those individuals, yet again. No one asks for sympathy, what is sought is equal treatment. Allow them to be treated unequally and this attitude only "trickles down" to every strata of society. Your boss who accepts it as fine that there is inequality in NFL contracts, lets say, will only believe the same is fine in your contract...Unnerstand?
