Social Justice Jocks


by Joe Siano





The humorless overlords of pro sports have taken to sloganeering.

In a tour-de-force display of virtue signaling billionaire, corporatist owners and spoiled millionaire jocks are hell-bent on heightening the social consciousness of us, the unwashed “basket of deplorables”.

Leading the pack is the NBA.  Yes, that same NBA that cared nothing about human rights violations in China.  Now that is deplorable.

Be that as it may, the High Priests of Hoops have blessed twenty-nine pre-approved sentiments for woke jocks (or is it woke jokes?) to display on their jerseys.  These include: Black Lives Matter; Say Their Names; Vote; I Can't Breathe; Justice; Peace; Equality; Freedom; Enough; Power to the People; Justice Now; Say Her Name; Sí Se Puede (Yes We Can); Liberation; See Us; Hear Us; Respect Us; Love Us; Listen; Listen to Us; Stand Up; Ally; Anti-Racist; I Am A Man; Speak Up; How Many More; Group Economics (You’re kidding me); Education Reform (yeah, from people who never attended classes); and Mentor.

In the spirit inclusivity, a broader spectrum of dialog and maybe some smiles, I offer some suggestions:

Life is Suffering

Don’t Tread on Me

Don’t Tread on Anyone



End the Fed

Taxation is Theft

War is Murder


Enjoy Capitalism



Unborn Lives Matter

Gun Control – Gateway to Tyranny


Privatize Education

Privatize Money

Privatize the Police


Defund DC



Free the Uyghurs

Free Hong Kong

Kiss me I’m Irish

FBI Full Blooded Italian



If It Ain’t Dutch, It Ain’t Much

God Bless Ron Paul

Ron Paul rEVOLution (yes, he deserves two mentions)

Socialism – Ideas So Good, They Have to Be Made Mandatory

Marxism – 100 Years – 100 million Dead

Socialism Kills



Free Snowden

Free Julian Assange


Before You Speak – Read Rothbard

Respect Private Property




Eat My Shorts


Eternal Life Matters



Nothing Secedes Like Secession.

Seek First The Kingdom


It’s my list and I’m sticking to it.

You have to admit that it beats the pants off of the thin gruel that the Social Justices Jocks are peddling.  The spirit of these sentiments will make for a freer, more peaceful and more prosperous planet.

As a former President might say, the return of pro sports is a “teachable moment”.  I have tried to make it so.
