If you could go back and play professional sports, would you?

I grew up wanting to play basketball, but I gradually grew out of it. I just wasn't in to it as much, especially because all I could focus on was girls and hanging out with friends and gaming. But looking back, I regret it. I remember enjoying the brief time I played basketball, the team atmosphere, the roadtrips to opposing schools, and so on. If I could go back and play, I think I would have stuck with it and attempted to even go professional.

If I had the opportunity to go back, I think I'd try my best to go pro in the NBA. Or maybe go back to try football, but I didn't like how bad it was for my body. With basketball it's not so impactful to your body, but football is just so damn rough. My first concussion I was done.

I only played once but without doubt it would be golf for a few reasons of which:
1. It's the only sport where you are better at 45 than you are at 25.
2. It's far easier on the body than any other major sport.
3. The endorsements and other ways to make money (clothing lines, course design, etc) is way more than any other sport.
4. It's an entry way to the 1% money. With very few exceptions, world leaders and the 1% play golf.
5. You don't even have to win too much. If you stay top 5 or 10 you can still make an incredible amount of money.
6.. Being good at it would piss white folks off big time. It's one of the few things they got left.

If you are best in golf at a fairly young age (under 25), you can make a billion faster than the other sports just off the sport. Invest it and you can be a boss.

I remember my dad trying to get me into football from young, I hated the sport in P.E but it was only way later that I realised how much money these players were making. I might get into watching and playing football more or I might try something else, I remember being good at tennis but them venues are filled with white supremacists, of course, football is too but tennis takes it to a whole different level.

Okay, soccer-football, not American football? I realized that only from seeing where you are from?

What club would you like to play for? What position? Side question. It seems like it rains every single game. I mean like...damn.

No, not American Football, we already have a sport called rugby which is similar. I'd like to play for Manchester United, they're one of the most successful teams in English football and have really high earnings too. I'd like to play as a defender since it's more relaxed and simple to manage (confrontation on the field is not my thing) it's also the position that I'm most familiar with since P.E and I can play decent, even though it doesn't require as much skill and only requires focus, it's still an important and effective role to play.

I grew up playing baseball, always dreamed of coaching, but now I know too much to ever go back into that environment. Too many hicks and rednecks. I remember getting into it with the white boys on my teams for cracking "back of the bus" jokes and the older Black players on the squad just laughing along wih the white boys, and I remember having a huge argument on a road trip to a game for Mahmoud Abdul Rauf when the NBA was getting him out the paint, and we ended up getting blasted by the other team. I quit the team pretty soon afterwards. I enjoyed playing, and would've loved doing it as a job, but the only way I'd end up in coaching is if my son started playing, or if I found a Negro league to play in. I wasn't talented enough to offset my political views playing in "their" leagues. I was a really good role player at best.

No, but I'd teach or coach. My children played outside. They weren't caught up with video games 24/7. I taught them how to skate, ride bikes, play volleyball, tennis, badminton, kickball, soccer, swim, climb, etc.

I never play pro sports, I play for the softball league for the Police Athletics League in the Bronx, New York from 1993-1997 and wasn’t that good but my teams won 2 championship in 1995, 1997 and I played infleilder and outfielder. If I was good I will like to turn pro and play for my favorite team the New York Mets or if I can turn by time, play in the Negro League Baseball!!!

lol..I'm very familiar with Man Utd. They aren't having a good season. Cristiano messing up the dressing room vibe is one of their multiple problems. Anyway, that's a good position. You can play a longer time as an outfield player as a central defender than pretty much any position other than GK.

And one more thing asshole. I got pulled over the other night and I had to use my white voice because I was afraid. Yes I was fucking afraid and I did that cowardly shit in front of my son. I feel like my nuts got cut off right in front of him. I'm angry. I'm enraged every fuckng day! But you seem to be rather calm and collected. Well that's not me. I need a place where I can vent. I'm tired. I'm weary. I'm fed up. I'm at the end of it.

brutha that rage is misdirected. Brother Neely Fuller says that sometimes we just gotta limit our contact with others---even Blacks. Everyone who ahs to deal with the dominant society has to eat a lil shit and it does accumulate to a point to where we can't eat anymore. I apologize if i came off as flippant, but I try to avoid all that tough talk on the internet, it usually doesn't end well, and I certainly would not come on the web and say what I plan to do or want to do. Getting emotional won't get you free though. We have to be strategic as a collective or we will perish. I go hardbody every single day, but there is a reason for all these forums. I'd have a stroke if i thought about WS and how to fight it EVERY second of my life. A Ni$$a gotta blow off some steam every now and again. Sounds like you need to take a day off from Dad and work duty and decompress. Just my observation

    Brother you are going to have to relax. You have to remember that this is not Twitter, you’re talking to Black people who care about our future that’s why they are here. If they want to play games or watch sports that’s on them as long as they are on code.

    Often times we inundate ourselves with our struggle and it makes us angry and gives us tunnel vision. We need to be able to stay focused on our mission but take time to enjoy the world as well.

    You will not be warned or banned right now brotha but this energy cannot continue here. You are around family and in a safe space and you have to behave as such.
